For the second time in three days, the Washington Wizards and the Atlanta Hawks are going to face off. The Wizards shot the ball well in the last game and the H
awks made a ton of mistakes in the second half of their loss. It was the second straight loss and one that took a bit of the air out of the start to the Hawks season. Atlanta could use a win tonight, but they are going to be very shorthanded.
This is going to be tough for the Hawks to navigate for the time being, but they can still beat Washington, who will be without Kyle Kuzma and Malcolm Brogdon.Coming into tonight's game, the Hawks are 7th in the NBA in PPG, 14th in FG%, 20th in 3PA, 18th in 3P%, 1st in FTA, 18th in FT%, 19th in rebounding, 4th in steals, and 21st in turnovers.
Johnson had a slow start to the year, but was phenomenal on Monday. He shot 11-17 from the floor and finished with 29 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists. The Wizards don't really have a good matchup on defense for Johnson and he could have another big game tonight. Onyeka Okongwu and Clint Capela are going to be the main two options at center tonight and Atlanta did not have Okongwu on Monday. They will have to deal with Jonas Valanciunas and try to keep him off the glass. Larry Nance was the backup center on Monday and if Hunter does not play, he could play power forward due to the Hawks being down so many guys.
Per Cleaning the Glass, Washington is 25th in points per 100 possessions, 22nd in effective field goal percentage, 22nd in turnover percentage, 15th in offensive rebounding percentage, and 22nd in free throw rate.
