Atlanta Hawks vs LA Clippers preview

The new year hasn't been kind to the Hawks. After getting crushed by the Denver Nuggets 139-120 on New Year's Day, they lost 119-102 to the LA Lakers two days later. Despite Trae Young's 33-point, nine-assist effort, the Hawks couldn't overcome the Lakers' 48.9% shooting from the field (including 43.3% from deep).

Similarly, the Clippers have lost their last two games. They wrapped up a three-game road trip with a 122-86 loss to the San Antonio Spurs and a 116-98 defeat against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Lacking serious star power, the Clippers had to lean on a 26-point performance from Amir Coffey to stay afloat. Saturday's game, though, might be a different story, as James Harden has been removed from the injury report, while Kawhi Leonard could make his season debut.

Trae Young's point total is set at 21.5, which is slightly below his 22.3 average for the season. This is an interesting projection, as Ice Trae dropped 33 on the Lakers in the Hawks' most recent outing.

Meanwhile, James Harden's point total is also set at 21.5, which is nearly identical to his season average of 21.9 points a night. Harden missing the Clippers' last two games due to injury could explain this projection.
