What to Know

The Atlanta Hawks will head out on the road to take on the Brooklyn Nets at 3:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Barclays Center. The Hawks are expected to lose this one by 1.5 points, so we'll see if that gives them a bit of motivation.

It's hard to win when you don't work as a unit and post 12 fewer assists than your opponent, a fact the Hawks found out the hard way on Thursday. They wound up with the same score they had in their last game (124-97), but sadly the team found themselves on the wrong side of the score this time. They were down 94-75 at the end of the third quarter, and things only got worse from there.

The Hawks' loss came about despite a quality game from Dejounte Murray, who scored 28 points along with six rebounds and five assists.

Atlanta's defeat dropped their record down to 26-33. As for Brooklyn, their win bumped their record up to 23-36.

The Nets are probably breathing a sigh of relief since Trae Young is out with an injury to his finger. The last time Murray took on the Nets was back in December of 2022, where he scored no points. Despite his strong showing, Atlanta still fell 124-97 to the Nets.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: The Hawks haven't given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 12.7 turnovers per game. However, it's not like the Nets (currently ranked fifth in turnovers per game) struggle in that department as they've been averaging only 11.9 turnovers per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
