Smart Game Analysis
Toronto Raptors has a 68% chance of winning the game
With Trae Young sidelined and the Raptors holding a perfect 4-0 head-to-head record this season, Toronto is heavily favored to repeat their blowout victory from two days ago.
Key Analysis
- • Trae Young is out with a right quad contusion, removing Atlanta's primary offensive engine and leaving a massive void in playmaking.
- • The Raptors have dominated this specific matchup, winning all four games this season including a 134-117 rout just 48 hours ago.
- • Toronto's defense ranks 4th in the NBA allowing only 112.6 points per game, which poses a difficult challenge for the depleted Hawks offense.
- • RJ Barrett is coming off a season-high 29-point performance against this same Hawks defense in their last outing.
- • Atlanta enters the game in poor form, having lost 12 of their last 16 games to fall to 17-20 on the season.
- • To have a chance, the Hawks must exploit the absence of Raptors center Jakob Poeltl by attacking the paint with Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu.
