Game Thread: Bucks @ Atlanta -- 1/11/23

Hawks put recent success vs. Bucks to the test

Image

Less than halfway through the season, Trae Young is closing in on the 1,000-point mark as he leads the Atlanta Hawks into their final regular-season game against the visiting Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday.

The Hawks have won two of the three meetings against the Bucks, most recently a 121-106 victory at Milwaukee on Nov. 14. Atlanta has a four-game home winning streak against the Bucks.

Young scored 30 points in Sunday's 112-108 road victory over the Los Angeles Clippers and has 989 points so far. He also has 353 assists and is the only player in the Eastern Conference, and one of three players in the NBA, with 900 points and 300 assists. Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic have also hit both marks. Young scored 42 points against the Bucks on Oct. 29 at Milwaukee, two points short of the Hawks' franchise record against the Bucks set by Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins in 1990. In 12 career games against Milwaukee, Young is averaging 24.5 points and 8.5 assists.

Atlanta went 2-2 on its West Coast road trip and overcame an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Clippers. The victory was No. 750 for Atlanta coach Nate McMillan.

The Bucks are coming off a 111-107 win over the New York Knicks on Monday, during the first leg of a four-game road trip. Milwaukee erased a 17-point deficit to end New York's four-game winning streak. Milwaukee has won four of its last six since enduring a four-game losing streak.

The Bucks are led by Giannis Antetokounmpo's 31.7 points, 11.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists. His last six games include three of at least 40 points, three of at least 20 rebounds, not to mention a 30-pount triple-double. He is on track to average at least 25 points, 10 rebounds and five assists for the fifth straight season.

In 31 career games against the Hawks, Antetokounmpo is averaging 23.0 points, 8.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists.

Clint Capela (right calf strain) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bucks. 

Capela remains sidelined, which means that Onyeka Okongwu will continue as the Hawks' starting center. He's been a valuable fantasy asset with Capela sidelined, providing top-50 per-game value in 9-cat formats over the last two weeks. Okongwu is currently rostered in 66% of Yahoo leagues, a bit low given the lack of a timeline for Capela's return.

oh well, hard to beat a contender 3 x's in a season with or without Trae.
Where the offseason has more buzz happens.

Just caught this game on replay... Ok so Frank and JJ should have finished off this game with the other starters. OO, Hunter, and Murray didn't have the best of games. I'd finish the game off with:

DJM
Bogi
JJ
Collins
Frank

Another game where we stopped doing what worked to get us back in the game. The final 3 minutes, here comes the ISO instead of running the offense.
