Dejounte Murray has been firing on all cylinders since Trae Young went down to injury and it's the 3-point shooting in particular that stands out over that stretch. Read more in our Hawks vs. Lakers betting picks below.
Their last three wins have come against the Timberwolves, Bucks, and Thunder, but their last two games came against teams they're chasing in the standings: the Kings and Warriors. They lose both despite being favored in both. Anthony Davis played just 12 minutes against Golden State but either way, this team lacks consistency.
The Hawks have also been getting solid contributions from guys like Bogdan Bogdanovic and Jalen Johnson recently, which has helped take some of the pressure off Murray. Bogdan Bogdanovic is shooting nearly 37% from 3-point range this season and is taking 8.4 threes per game in Young’s absence. That has resulted in him hitting 3+ threes eight times over that stretch.
