The Golden State Warriors are still in a state of shock after losing Deki, but they have to take on the Atlanta Hawks tonight at the Chase Center. This is their first meeting following the tragic passing of their assistant coach and a very emotional one. 

Before Betting on Hawks vs. Warriors

Bogan Bogdanovic used to play for Partizan Belgrade and was the team’s captain, just like Dejan Milojevic, so he, too, will experience some mixed emotions tonight. His Hawks are all about mixing emotions this year, having 18 wins and 25 losses up to this point and returning from back-to-back defeats.

The first was against the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road, 116-95, and the second in Sacramento against the Kings, 122-107. There are a lot of unsettled players in the team because trade talks are underway, and several big-time stars are in the mix. Another reason for that is Trae’s injury, and the sharpshooting guard won’t play.

Golden State was in terrible shape ahead of this event. Besides the tragedy that struck the franchise, their performances on the court were pale and looked pretty deflated. Four losses in five meetings are enough for the alarm to go off. Right now, they have 18 triumphs and 22 losses.

The latest three contests were on the road. It started with a win in Chicago, 140-131, followed by two losses in Milwaukee, 129-118 and Memphis, 116-107. We haven’t seen the Warriors in competitive editions throughout these clashes, which is a big reason for concern.

The Hawks are a mediocre team this year, and without Young, they are even worse. As for the Warriors, their performances at home are much better than those on the road, plus the team is extremely motivated ahead of tonight’s event. That’s why we picked the Warriors to cover a -7.5-point spread.
