The Hawks have the better team on paper, but the Kings have been respectable at home. However, injuries have been piling up for Sacramento. The team also lost Rudy Gay and now Lawson is likely out. Atlanta brings some great guards to the floor that should be able to work past the Kings. Cousins won’t have enough help to stop all of Atlanta’s weapons.
