Los Angeles Lakers vs. Atlanta Hawks All-time Head-to-Head Regular Season Game Log:
Unsurprisingly, the Nuggets found it very difficult to beat the Nuggets on the road without Jalen Johnson and Bogdan Bogdanovic.
While the 139-120 loss looks ugly on paper, the game was actually progressing reasonably well for Atlanta in the first half. Denver was only up, 74-71, going into halftime after the Hawks shot 47% from the field and 38% from three.
Considering their struggles from the three-point line this season, that’s a reasonable performance from their offense.
The real problem was that they had no defensive answers for the Nuggets. Denver took the game by running the Hawks off the floor in the third quarter, outscoring them 41-21 and finished by shooting 56% from the floor and 40% from three.
They’ll be going up against a Lakers squad that has remained above .500 despite going through fluctuations in both their play and roster.
From a roster standpoint, LA made one of the first trades of the trade deadline season by acquring Dorian Finney-Smith and Shake Milton from the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for D’Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis and three second-round picks. Finney-Smith made his Lakers debut against the Cavs and scored two points in 20 minutes.
His second game with the team went similarly as he dropped three points and four rebounds in 24 minutes in a 114-106 win against the Portland Trail Blazers yesterday. Still, the main focus of the Lakers is always LeBron James.
Despite recently celebrating his 40th birthday, he just scored 38 points and hit 7 threes. Anthony Davis did not play against Portland, but his defense remains excellent and he’s averaging 26.1 points and 11.6 rebounds.
Outside of James and star center Anthony Davis, Austin Reaves has really come along as a playmaker and scorer for the Lakers this year while Dalton Knecht has taken hold of his role as a bench shooter.
Beyond that, it is a fairly shallow team that Atlanta should be able to take advantage of.
However, this assumes that the Hawks have their star duo of Trae Young and Jalen Johnson. Young dropped 30 points and nine assists while Johnson’s absence was especially felt on the defensive end against Denver.
Both remain questionable for tonight’s game against LA while veteran sharpshooter Bogdan Bogdanovic is also questionable.
