Marcus Smart (low back contusion) is questionable for Game 4 against the Hawks on Sunday. Smart took a hard fall in Game 3, and it could hold him out for Game 4 in Atlanta. If that happens, Joe Mazzulla will have to decide between a taller starting lineup with Robert Williams, or continuing with their smaller lineup and starting Sam Hauser. Malcolm Brogdon will play a large role, but they’ve been adamant about bringing him off the bench.
Atlanta Hawks DFS Spin
Trae Young finished with 32 points (12-of-22 FG), six rebounds, nine assists, a steal, two blocks and two triples in Friday’s win over Boston. Young shot the ball poorly in Games 1 and 2, but he bounced back with an efficient showing in Friday’s win, bolstering his final stat line with some quality peripheral stats. After playing like “Ice Cold Trae,” he was back to just plain “Ice Trae” as he hit clutch baskets in the fourth quarter, including a big three and a crucial floater. He and Dejounte Murray will need to be at their best for Game 4, as the Hawks will have a chance to even this series at two games apiece.
