Team Form and Preview
The Hawks enter this game on a two-game losing streak after defeats to the Oklahoma City Thunder and Chicago Bulls. Most recently, they lost 128-123 to Chicago on Monday. Trae Young recorded a double-double with 21 points and 17 assists, while offseason acquisition Kristaps Porzingis scored 27 points. Jalen Johnson also contributed 25 points.
Many analysts believe this is the strongest Hawks roster since Trae Young joined the franchise. Though their poor start is concerning, it is still early in the season, and the team may simply be building chemistry.
Injury-wise, the Hawks have listed Jalen Johnson (ankle) and Zaccharie Risacher (sprained right ankle) as probable for Wednesday’s game. However, Haywood Highsmith will be out due to a knee injury, and Ziaire Williams remains questionable with a back issue.
On the other side, the Nets are clearly in a rebuilding phase, reflected in their disappointing record. They have struggled to compete in most games and are coming off a tough 137-109 loss against the Houston Rockets on Monday. Terance Mann led the team with 21 points, followed by Michael Porter Jr. who scored 18 points. However, other starters struggled, notably Cam Thomas with just nine points — the team will need his scoring touch to contend for victories.
