Hawks Seek Redemption Against Rockets
27 Oct
Summary
- Hawks struggled with three-point shooting in their recent loss.
- Atlanta needs better bench production against Houston.
- Onyeka Okongwu must improve his scoring and shooting.
The Atlanta Hawks are set to face the Houston Rockets in a rematch tonight, aiming to secure a road victory after a previous loss. A critical area for improvement for the Hawks is their three-point shooting, as they struggled significantly in their last game, converting only 13 of 49 attempts from deep. Beyond shooting, Atlanta requires enhanced contributions from its bench players, including Lu Dort and Jock Landale, to match Houston's intensity.
Furthermore, Onyeka Okongwu's performance is crucial for the Hawks. His current scoring average and shooting efficiency have been below expectations, impacting Atlanta's offensive versatility. The team's ability to stretch the floor effectively hinges on Okongwu finding his form. Injuries also factor into the matchup, with Mo Gueye and Henri Veesaar sidelined for Atlanta, while Steven Adams is out for Houston, and Marcus Smart is questionable.
