The Atlanta Hawks will be playing host to the number two seed Memphis Grizzlies today at the State Farm Arena. The Hawks have six players listed on their injury report, but one name stands out above the rest.

Tonight will be the first time this season that these two teams face off in the regular season. However, since the 2019-2020 NBA season, the Grizzlies have won six out of the last games against the Hawks.

Trae Young has been on the injury report for a few days, and was downgraded from probable to questionable, as he is currently dealing with a right heel contusion.

Young has played in all but one game this season for the Hawks. In those 27 games, he has averaged 21.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 12.2 assists, and 1.3 steals a game. Even though the Grizzlies won't have Ja Morant available, the Atlanta Hawks will still have their work cut out for them with their best player sidelined as well.

The Grizzlies have been one of the best teams in basketball this season and will look to continue that on Saturday. The Memphis Grizzlies and Atlanta Hawks will face off at 7:30 p.m. EST.
