Atlanta Hawks vs. Golden State Warriors betting tips
Dejounte Murray has an over/under of 26.5 points for the game, which is higher than his season average of 21.4 points. Murray, however, will have a bigger offensive load with Young not playing. Expect him to finish the night with over 26.5 points.
Steph Curry has an over/under of 28.5 points. Curry struggled in the past five games and didn’t cross that mark in any of them. With a long break, expect Curry to be back at his best and score over 28.5 points Wednesday.
Atlanta Hawks vs. Golden State Warriors prediction
The Warriors are favored at home against an injury-laden Hawks squad. Golden State has struggled throughout the season to put on a good run but the death of a beloved assistant coach could be the tipping point. Expect the Warriors to put together an iconic performance and cover the spread.
The Hawks might struggle to score in Young’s absence, thus, the team total should be under 234 points.
