The Atlanta Hawks are back in action tonight at home and they will look to move to 2-0 when they face the Charlotte Hornets tonight. Both teams are 1-0 coming i
nto tonight, with the Hornets getting a big win on Wednesday on the road vs the Houston Rockets.Trae Young got off to a great start to the season on Wednesday, finishing with 30 points and 12 assists and making a lot of highlight passes. The Hornets have not been a good defensive team in recent history and Young could be in for a big night tonight.
It was encouraging to see the Hawks be able to win when Jalen Johnson did not play up to his level. Johnson did have a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds, but he was 3-8 from the free throw line, had six turnovers and he only took nine shots. Look for Johnson to have a bounce back game tonight.
Risacher struggled a little bit in his NBA debut. He finished with seven points on 2-8 shooting and going 2-4 from the line. Despite the stat line, Hawks head coach Quin Snyder gave Risacher a lot of praise for how he played: "Oh, yeah. It was great. It was great. I mean, that's first of many, many buckets and threes. Zacch's gonna hit. I mean, I know he didn't get a shot going like he's gonna this season, but that's part of it. He is gonna have a hell of a career. I mean, that shot, I mean, his shot is so pretty. So he's got to keep getting on the ball. He's gonna make a lot of shots for us and make our team a lot better.
The guy to watch for Charlotte tonight is of course LaMelo Ball. Ball had a great start to his season on Wednesday, scoring 34 points, dishing out 11 assists and grabbing eight rebounds. This is going to be a matchup of two of the best point guards in the Eastern Conference and one of the highlight matchups of the night.
