At a glance

The Golden State Warriors (2-3) host the Atlanta Hawks (2-3) on Monday, March 22 at 10:00 PM ET at Chase Center in NBA action. The Basketlog model gives the Hawks a 58% chance to win and projects a 117-114 score (Hawks – Warriors), about 231 total points. This season, the Warriors are 0-1 at home and the Hawks are 2-1 on the road. Since the start of the season: 2-3 for the Warriors and 2-3 for the Hawks (current streaks: Warriors W2, Hawks L3). A close game (margin of 5 points or fewer) happens in only 31% of cases according to the model. Reported injuries: Mouhamed Gueye (Hawks), Henri Veesaar (Hawks), Kristaps Porzingis (Warriors), Moses Moody (Warriors) and Jimmy Butler III (Warriors). Prediction confidence: low.

The analysis Model

A wide-open game: the model barely separates the two teams. The model projects Warriors 114 – 117 Hawks, a margin of about 2.4 points in favor of the Hawks and a total around 231 points. Expect a game at a standard NBA pace. The Warriors will be without Kristaps Porzingis or Moses Moody (and 1 other). The Hawks will be without Mouhamed Gueye or Henri Veesaar.

  • The Warriors need to win the pace battle to stay in the game.
  • The Hawks' offense (119.0 pts/game) is the more productive of the two.
