NBA: Atlanta Hawks vs Phoenix Suns Injury Report, Predicted Lineups and Starting 5s
On Saturday, the Atlanta Hawks will play the Phoenix Suns in a thrilling NBA 2021-22 regular-season game at the Footprint Center. The Hawks have only one win in their last three games, so they’ll be determined to give it their all when they travel to Phoenix.
The Hawks’ most recent game was against the Utah Jazz, in which they shot only seven times from three-point range, resulting in a 25 percent effectiveness rate. Jordan Clarkson came in and performed miracles for the Jazz from the bench. His 30 points were vital in the team’s 116-98 victory.
The Hawks now have a 4-5 record for the season as a result of the loss. A win on Saturday would be a major boost for the club, as it would provide much-needed momentum heading into the next several games.
The Phoenix Suns, on the other hand, are coming off a three-game winning streak. They’ve done some incredible things on offense and will want to do so again in this game.
Phoenix made 14 three-pointers (45.2 percent) in their last game against the Houston Rockets. In the Suns’ 123-11 victory, Devin Booker had 27 points and 13 assists, while Chris Paul, his backcourt partner, had 13 assists. The Suns will look to keep their winning streak going and put on a strong showing against the Hawks at home.
Bogdan Bogdanovic and John Collins have been listed as questionable for this game by the Atlanta Hawks due to injury. The Hawks will suffer a significant loss if the duo misses the game, as they are two of the team’s most vital players. Due to a right shoulder injury, Onyeka Okongwu has been ruled out of the Suns game.
