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.
