Golden State Warriors vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Warriors are going to be short-handed in this one with Stephen Curry ruled out and Gary Payton II listed as questionable, while the Hawks have ruled out Clint Capela and Larry Nance Jr again. The Warriors have been one of the hottest teams in the league lately, but they are bound to have a bit of a rough patch with Curry now sidelined. The Hawks have been in pretty good form themselves despite dealing with injuries of their own, and they should be well-rested as they haven't played since Tuesday. It's hard to back against the red-hot Warriors, who still have plenty of firepower without Curry, but the Hawks have had almost a week to prepare for this matchup. I just get the feeling that they might just pull off the upset at home.
