Toronto Raptors vs. Atlanta Hawks preview

The Toronto Raptors must show the same poise to win back-to-back games against the Atlanta Hawks. Toronto had a 17-point lead in the first half before holding on for the win. They must also have the same resiliency against the hosts, who are looking to bounce back from their loss.

The Raptors allowed Atlanta back into the game with costly errors and will look to avoid being careless with the ball again in the rematch.

The Hawks shook off the early loss of Jalen Johnson, averaging career-highs in points (18.9 PPG) and rebounds (10.0 RPG) to nearly pull a come-from-behind win. The athletic forward and Zaccharie Risacher are out, thinning Atlanta’s frontline.

De’Andre Hunter, Larry Nance Jr. and Bogdan Bogdanovic must help carry the load on both ends. They will have to do more, mainly if Trae Young is unavailable.

Toronto Raptors vs. Atlanta Hawks betting tips

Trae Young seemed bothered by a hamstring tightness that caused his availability to be questionable. If he plays, he isn’t likely to be 100% healthy and could struggle to top his 26.5 (O/U) points prop on Saturday.

Onyeka Okongwu stepped up on offense when Jalen Johnson went down with a shoulder injury. He had 19 points to help the Hawks's failed rally to overturn the game. The big man could sustain his output since Clint Capela is nursing soreness in his right knee. Okongwu could blast through his 14.5 (O/U) points prop.
