Atlanta Hawks Preview
The Atlanta Hawks featured in a tight game against the Phoenix Suns. They ended up securing a 12-point lead mid-way through the second half but failed to keep up the intensity down the stretch. Atlanta was able to score just 19 points in the fourth quarter, which helped the Suns gain an advantage and eventually win the tie.
Trae Young returned to form after a couple of sub-par games with 31 points and 13 assists on the night. John Collins played a solid cameo, recording a 26-point, ten-rebound game.
The Atlanta Hawks haven't been as efficient on the defensive end as they were last campaign. That's been one of the biggest reasons behind their underwhelming start to the season. If they are to stop a surging Warriors team, they will have to step up on that end to get back to winning ways.
Key Player - Trae Young
Trae Young's improved showing on offense almost helped the Atlanta Hawks secure a win over the Phoenix Suns. He will need to replicate that kind of a performance to give his side a decent shot at toppling the mighty Golden State Warriors team. Young's playmaking can help the Hawks breakthrough the Warriors defense, making him a key player for his team on Monday.

Golden State Warriors Preview
The Golden State Warriors are easily the best team in the NBA right now. They have the best record (8-1), the best defensive rating and the best net rating overall in the league.
The Warriors put in a complete performance once again in their blowout win over the Houston Rockets. Jordan Poole continued his stellar run with 25 points on 7 of 13 shooting, while Stephen Curry recorded 20 points and three steals on the night.
The Golden State Warriors shot 51% from the floor as a team and made 15 3-pointers. It was their seventh consecutive game in which they restricted their opponent to under 110 points.
Key Player - Jordan Poole
There is no doubt that the likes of Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are going to put in exceptional performances game in and game out. The same can now be said about a rising star like Jordan Poole, who is averaging 27.3 points per game in his last three outings.
Jordan Poole over the last 3 Games:
- 31 Points, 52% FG, 7 Threes
- 26 Points, 66% FG, 6 Threes
- 25 Points, 54% FG, 2 Threes
MIP? 👀 https://t.co/iOOMHedois
His showings have been key to the Golden State Warriors' dominant run over the last four games. If Poole has another big night, it will give the Dubs a healthy chance to extend their winning run to five games on Monday.
Golden State Warriors Predicted Lineup
G - Stephen Curry, G - Jordan Poole, F - Andrew Wiggins, F - Draymond Green, C - Kevon Looney.
Hawks vs Warriors Match Prediction
The Golden State Warriors will be the overwhelming favorites to win the tie. They appear to be one of the most well settled teams despite the absence of key starters like Klay Thompson and James Wiseman. On top of that, they have a 5-1 record playing at home. This gives them an advantage against the Atlanta Hawks, who have been struggling, especially against teams with more talent on their rosters at this stage.
