The Atlanta Hawks and Sacramento Kings will lock horns at the State Farm Arena in the NBA on Saturday morning. The Hawks (2-3) are ninth in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Kings (2-2) are 10th in the West. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

After an impressive start to the season, the Atlanta Hawks are now hoping to avoid a third straight defeat after going down to the lowly Washington Wizards 133-120 on Thursday morning. 

Trae Young led the team with 35 points and 15 assists, but much of the attention fell on number-one draft pick Zaccharie Risacher, who scored 17 points but was effective throughout. 

Atlanta’s strength this season looks likely to come on offence, where they are already ranked eighth with 117.6 PPG. However, defensively, the side is third-bottom in the NBA, allowing 123.6 points per game. 

In contrast, after a stuttering start to the season, the Sacramento Kings seem to have found their stride and are now aiming for a third win on the spin after beating the Jazz 113-96 in midweek.

Domantas Sabonis put up 28 points and 11 rebounds, DeMar DeRozan contributed 20 points and eight assists, while De'Aaron Fox added 19 points and six assists in the win. 

The Kings are performing equally well on both ends of the ball this season, ranked ninth in PPG and PPG conceded with 116.5 and 110.5 respectively.
