Atlanta vs Brooklyn: prediction for the NBA match

Nate McMillan managed to motivate his players for a victory. Hawks had a disastrous start of the season, but now situation has changed. Hawks recorded some important victories in recent matches and rose to the 8th spot in the Eastern Conference. It is enough to advance into the playoffs, but there is plenty of time to improve the situation.

Atlanta recorded a victory in the most recent match. Few days ago Hawks beat Minnesota (121:110) at Target Center. Trae Young was the best player in Hawks' line-up. He scored 29 points in that match. 

Brooklyn are facing a serious problem. Kevin Durant got an injury. Leader of the Nets was sidelined for the previous game against Houston. Without him team failed to put up a good performance and was eventually defeated by the Rockets (104:114). 

But Durant will play in the match against Atlanta and he will be a crucial element of Nets' offense. The Beard is far from his perfect form, to say the least, so he won't be able to lead the team. Overall, it is hard to expect a brilliant performance from Brooklyn.
