Atlanta's strong run of form continues without Trae Young. They now have 9 wins and 5 losses. They were 2-3 with Trae so 7-2 without Trae.
I like their starting unit without Trae (NAW, Dyson, Risacher, Jalen Johnson, Porzingis) but their bench is undependable. Plus their other starters often miss games here and there. Porzingis missed the game last night. So Okongwu started. This meant their bench was:
G: Keaton Wallace
G: Vit Krejci
F: Luke Kennard
F: Mo Gueye
C: Asa Newell
Not much there that Atlanta can rely on night to night. Mo Gueye has had some good games during this run. I am still not sure what to make of him yet.
