Atlanta Hawks vs. Brooklyn Nets Prediction: Injury Report, Starting 5s, Betting Odds, and Spreads- December 9 | 2022/23 NBA Regular Season
The Atlanta Hawks take their 1st place record on the road to the Barclays Center to face the Brooklyn Nets. Trae Young appears to be ready to play for Atlanta. Unfortunately, we cannot say the same for his backcourt running mate Dejounte Murray. Murray sustained an ankle injury in their last outing, and the dynamic guard will miss a few weeks of action. Dejounte Murray played like an NBA All-Star/ His absence is a big deal for the Hawks. As always, we know with the Brooklyn Nets, we are dealing with the Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving show. Will Atlanta keep their winning ways going on the road, or will Brooklyn prevail at home?
