Player Highlights
As a key playmaker for the Hawks this season, Daniels is averaging 6.1 assists per game, and with Trae Young absent, his contribution is increasingly vital. Recently, he has surpassed the assist mark of 6.5 in two successive games, including a notable performance where he distributed seven assists against the Wizards just days ago. Additionally, he registered eight assists in a prior clash with the Nets, highlighting his growing influence on the court. His average of 6.3 assists while playing at home, compared to 5.9 on the road, suggests he is poised to repeat his successful run against Washington.
Betting Insights
In terms of bets surrounding this game, consider placing a wager on Daniels to exceed 6.5 assists. Moreover, Onyeka Okongwu has been a force on the boards, securing at least ten rebounds in three out of his last four games. CJ McCollum, while struggling in his last outing, has generally been effective from beyond the arc, averaging 2.6 three-pointers made with a shooting percentage of 38.2%. With Nickeil Alexander-Walker’s status in doubt due to a foot injury, McCollum could see additional scoring opportunities tonight.
