Atlanta Hawks vs Portland Trail Blazers prediction

The Atlanta Hawks continue to be hit or miss, and they're still down their best player in Trae Young. However, the Hawks are still the more talented team, and they need to take advantage of games like this if they're going to improve their playoff situation. Currently the 10th seed, the Hawks have a chance to move up if they win the games they're supposed to win. The Portland Trail Blazers are banged up and in full on tank mode. If the Hawks cant win this game, something's wrong. I'll lay the bucket with the Hawks on the road.
