The Atlanta Hawks are in Sacramento tonight for a matchup with the Kings, who are missing some of their best players tonight. Because they played in Portland last night, the Hawks's injury report was still uncertain for tonight, but it was just revealed and there is a lot of good news for the Hawks tonight.

Bogdan Bogdanovic, Kobe Bufkin, and De'Andre Hunter are off the injury report for tonight's game vs the Kings. Bogdanovic has not played since opening night vs Brooklyn and Bufkin has not played this season. Hunter has played in three games this season, but missed last nights game vs Portland.

While Vit Krejci is out for this game, this is the healthiest the Hawks have been this season and we are finally going to get a glimpse of what this team can do with a healthy roster. Keep an eye on the player minutes tonight and rotations with guys like Bogdanovic and Bufkin back. Keaton Wallace has done a good job as the backup point guard with Bufkin out, but the Hawks want to see if their former first round pick is ready to take the backup point guard job in his second season.

Coming into tonight's game, the Hawks are 6th in the NBA in PPG, 11th in FG%, 18th in 3PA, 20th in 3P%, 3rd in FTA, 28th in turnovers, and 16th in rebounding. Per Cleaning the Glass, Atlanta is 14th in points per 100 possessions, 15th in effective field goal percentage, 21st in turnover percentage, 7th offensive rebounding percentage, and 6th in free throw rate.

The Hawks have improved in some ways defensively, but they allow the most threes per game in the NBA and allow the highest three-point percentage in the NBA as well. There has been no consistency from night to night from this team on that end and the Hawks are usually prone to have at least one awful quarter per game (see third quarter last night).

Atlanta currently ranks 28th in PPG allowed, 16th in field goal percentage allowed, 30th in three-point attempts allowed, and 30th in three-point percentage allowed. Per Cleaning the Glass, Atlanta is 22nd in points allowed per 100 possessions and 27th in effective field goal percentage allowed.

Trae Young is leading this offense and he is coming off of a solid game vs Portland. Young scored 29 points and had eight assists last night vs Portland, but he was bothered by the length and athleticism of some of Portland's defense. In the last game vs the Kings, Young scored 25 points and had 12 assists. If the Hawks want to upset the Kings, Young has to outplay Fox, who has been the hottest player in the NBA through the last week.

Dyson Daniels has been one of the stories of the NBA, but he had one of his worst games of the season last night vs Portland. Daniels scored 12 points on 5-17 shooting and had a problem with turnovers. Daniels is going to be guarding Fox tonight in what should be a great matchup.

Zaccharie Risacher only played 21 minutes last night and only six minutes in the second half. He had a solid game, scoring 11 points and pulling in four rebounds, as well as playing solid defense.
