Now that it looks as if Trae Young has a probable designation for tonight, expect the Hawks to make a quick recovery from a poor effort vs. the Pistons when missing 32 of 38 triples in a 114-104 loss last night. Atlanta had won its previous four games handily at State Farm Arena and also destroyed the Raps in the most-recent meeting on December 29 when the Hawks rolled 136-107. Young scored 34 that night as Atlanta stretched 6-point halftime lead into a 29-point cushion at the end. Toronto has stirred a bit the past week with wins in three of four, but road trips have been nightmares lately for Toronto, which has lost nine straight away, many by big margins. Play Hawks

Jalen Johnson is having an excellent 4th season after a breakout campaign last year. Johnson frequently stuffs the stat sheet with averages of 19/10/5 on healthy shooting splits. This has potential ceiling game written all over it considering we're working with a 237 point total and an opponent in Toronto that plays up tempo and minimal defense. The Raptors also bleed production to opposing forwards.

Trae Young played 40 minutes last night vs. Detroit -- and had just 13 points -- so I'd think that Young is pulled as early as possible if this game is out of reach either way. He's only averaging 21.1 PPG at home. In the second of a B2B, guys tend to have heavy legs and jumpers hit the front of the rim. At least mine often did, but sadly that had nothing to do with heavy legs but that "White Men Can't Jump." I am living proof. Most of the various models have Young around 25 points. The Dinos are on normal rest and have been playing good defense lately, holding three of their past four opponents to 101 points or fewer.
