Cade Cunningham's Status Revealed For Tonight's Game vs Atlanta
After being questionable coming into tonight's game vs Atlanta, Cade Cunningham is in the starting lineup and good to go tonight vs Atlanta.
The Hawks's offense is coming off of a great shooting night vs the Bulls and it was a balanced effort. Atlanta has been relying on Dejounte Murray to create and carry the offense and he did win Eastern Conference Player Of The Week because of it. Murray will be the best player on the floor tonight and against the Pistons defense, he could be in for a big night.
Bogdan Bogdanovic is playing incredible right now and has been very efficient from the floor. Just two games ago, Bogdanovic scored 38 points against the Milwaukee Bucks, and on Monday night vs the Bulls, he was 6-7 and scored 20 points. He is playing well and at the right time for Atlanta.
The guy who has been playing excellent as of late is forward Vit Krejci. Krejci keeps improving as a shooter and defender and he went 6-6 from three in the last game vs Chicago. Just last week, he scored 13 points in the third quarter against the Celtics. He is quickly improving and becoming a threat to the Hawks every time he steps on the floor.
Hunter has had two down games in a row in terms of shooting and the Hawks will need him to find his groove again soon. Hunter had two excellent games vs the Celtics last week and can be one of the Hawk's best players when he is hitting shots.
Clint Capela and Bruno Fernando will get the minutes at center tonight and Capela has been a double-double machine over the last 15 or so games. Fernando has been bringing the energy every night off the bench as well. Both of these players will play critical roles tonight as Detroit has one of the best rebounders in the NBA on their team, Jalen Duren. Duren can get the Pistons extra possessions and is one of the few threats on the team.
Garrison Matthews and Kobe Bufkin will be two key guys coming off the bench for the Hawks. Matthews has been one of the top three-point shooters in the NBA and Bufkin has shown flashes, especially on defense, of being an impact player, even as a rookie.
