Golden State Warriors vs Atlanta Hawks: Prediction and Betting Tips | February 3, 2024

The Golden State Warriors are hoping to sweep the Atlanta Hawks in the season series when they meet again on Saturday. Golden State, behind Jonathan Kuminga's 25 points, nine rebounds and two assists, handily won 134-112 in the first encounter on Jan. 24. Winning the rematch, however, will be tougher as they are on the road and will be playing the second night of a back-to-back set.

Like the Warriors, the Hawks will also be playing the backend of two consecutive games. Atlanta, however, is in the midst of a five-game homestand and is not travel-weary like their visitors. Trae Young and his teammates could capitalize on that as they try to even the series.

The Dubs had little trouble beating the badly undermanned Memphis Grizzlies 121-101 on Friday. They will not have the same advantage over the Hawks so they will have to be in top form. Golden State will lean on the emerging youngster Jonathan Kuminga to help Steph Curry carry the team to victory.

Golden State Warriors vs Atlanta Hawks: Game preview

After the win against the Grizzlies, Draymond Green told reporters that Jonathan Kuminga has been carrying the Warriors more often in recent weeks. Golden State will need their emerging star to continue doing as such as they play another game less than 24 hours after winning in Memphis.

The quick turnaround may mean the Warriors’ veterans may give the budding star even more opportunities against the Hawks.

Trae Young has been on fire over the last four games, helping the Hawks to a 3-1 record during that stretch. Playing in front of fans will also benefit Atlanta, particularly in a back-to-back set. Against the road-weary Warriors, that might be an advantage that they can maximize to get the win.
