DUBS HEAD TO ATLANTA TO WRAP-UP BACK-TO-BACK

LAST TIME OUT
A potential go-ahead shot in the final seconds from Alec Burks was just off the mark, and the Warriors lost a close one to the Magic, 100-96, on Sunday in Orlando.Full Recap

BURKS PUTTING IN WORK
Forward Alec Burks continues to play critical minutes for the Warriors and be among the biggest contributors in their last seven games where he has averaged 15.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and almost two steals per game across those contests. That includes 29- and 23-point efforts in the Dubs’ last two wins against the Memphis Grizzlies and Chicago Bulls. The nine year veteran continues to add to his game while with the Dubs, now driving and dishing to help elevate his teammates. Burks averages 2.7 assists on the season, and that would match a career-high if he can maintain that rate.

ATLANTA SCOUTING REPORT
The Hawks are a young, dynamic team: fourth overall pick of the 2019 NBA Draft De’Andre Hunter and 10th overall pick Cam Reddish are among Atlanta’s seven players who have logged the most minutes this season who are 25-years-old or younger. Trae Young (28.4 points, 1.4 steals per game), John Collins (17.0 points, 1.0 steals) and Jabari Parker (16.8 points, 1.6 steals) round out that group. That trio leads the team in scoring while also averaging at least a steal per game. The Hawks are a top five team in steals but otherwise rank around the lower third of the NBA in most major offensive and defensive statistics while allowing opponents to score over 119 points per game.
