Smart Game Analysis
Atlanta Hawks has a 58% chance of winning the game
With Portland's leading scorer Deni Avdija doubtful and Jerami Grant questionable, the Hawks hold a distinct edge behind the all-around production of Jalen Johnson.
Key Analysis
- • Portland is likely missing leading scorer Deni Avdija (26.1 PPG), severely limiting an offense that already ranks 18th in the league.
- • Atlanta's Jalen Johnson is averaging nearly a triple-double (23.4 PPG, 10.1 RPG, 8.1 APG) and poses a mismatch Portland lacks the personnel to contain.
- • The Hawks have a significant perimeter shooting advantage, making 14.5 three-pointers per game (7th in NBA) compared to Portland's inconsistent outside attack.
- • Portland has lost two straight games by double digits, including a 22-point blowout loss to the Warriors where they struggled to score without Avdija.
- • Atlanta's defense allows 118.9 points per game, but Portland's depleted lineup may fail to exploit this weakness effectively.
- • To pull off an upset, the Trail Blazers need a vintage performance from the returning Jrue Holiday and a high-scoring night from Shaedon Sharpe.
