Golden State Warriors Preview
Although the Warriors walked away with a much-needed win on the road, the side still finds itself in a rough patch. Having lost three games since Steph Curry was injured, Golden State still needs to adjust to playing without their superstar.
A bright spark in this span of time has been the performance of Jordan Poole. Although Poole started out the season hot, he went through a bit of a slump as well. However, these last few games have seen a timely resurgence from the young Warriors guard.
Recording an average of 25.9 points per game in his last 10 outings, Poole was essential in the Warriors' win against Miami as he notched 30 points for the night.

Atlanta Hawks Preview
The Atlanta Hawks have had a fairly disappointing season considering their Conference Finals appearance in last year's playoffs. Although they are safely established in tenth place, the Hawks are not in a favorable position as they have lost three of their last five games.
Their latest loss against the Detroit Pistons was a product of poor offensive execution down the stretch. Although Atlanta started off strong with a 31-point outing in the first quarter, their offense completely fell out of rhythm for the rest of the game.
With Trae Young being the highest scorer for the Hawks with 21-points, the side saw De'Andre Hunter as the only other starter with double-digit scoring.
Atlanta will face more tribulations going forward as their star forward John Collins remains out of the rotation. Collins suffered a foot injury that has seen him sidelined indefinitely.
Hawks forward John Collins has a plantar fascia tear in his right foot as well as damage to his right ring finger, sources tell me and @ChrisKirschner. Collins has been playing through pain for past several weeks, but will now be sidelined indefinitely.

Golden State Warriors vs. Atlanta Hawks Betting Odds & Spreads
The oddsmakers have favored the Hawks to win this matchup primarily because of their homecourt advantage.
While Golden State are coming off a key win against the Miami Heat, they are still 2-3 in their last five games and will additionally be without Curry against Atlanta. This puts them in a relatively poor position against a team with a crafty superstar point guard.

Warriors vs Hawks Match Predictions
The Hawks should emerge as the winners in this matchup against the Warriors. While this seems odd considering the stark differences in records, Golden State have not been in the best shape since Steph Curry went down with injury.
The Warriors' win against the Heat is definitely a positive for the team, and unfortunately it doesn't do much for their overall form at this point in time.
Atlanta, on the other hand, will enjoy homecourt advantage. With a 23-14 record at home, the Hawks are a formidable side to say the least. While also factoring in the size at the Hawks' disposal and a superstar running their offense, the Warriors will have their hands full in this game.
