Hawks at Raptors Betting Stats
Atlanta Hawks Stats
Following a late March embarrassing loss to the underwhelming Pistons, the Hawks have since reeled off five victories in a row. Their winning streak has come at an opportune time, with the playoffs about to begin.
Atlanta’s offense has come alive as well. They now rank sixth overall in points per game with an impressive mark of 114. But it is their efficiency that truly stands out.
The hawks rank seventh in field goal percentage and second in three-point percentage. Additionally, they are first in limiting turnovers per game and second in assist-turnover ratio.
Trae Young has been the catalyst for Atlanta all year long. The All-Star point guard is averaging 28.3 points and 9.6 assists per game. He won’t win the MVP this year, but Young should at least be in the conversation.
Clint Capela has also been a force in the post for the Hawks. The underrated center is averaging 10.8 points and 11.8 rebounds per game this year. His presence has been crucial for Atlanta without question.
Young, Capela, and the Hawks will aim to make it six wins in a row on Tuesday in Toronto.
Toronto Raptors Stats
The Raptors had a five-game winning streak of their own prior to their recent loss against first-place Miami. Nonetheless, they are also playing a quality brand of basketball and will look to keep it going in this matchup.
The Raptors don’t score as much as Atlanta, nor do they possess the same kind of offensive efficiency. But this is a team that does the little things well.
Toronto ranks 10th in rebounds per game. Pascal Siakam is the team leader in rebounds with 8.4 boards per contest. Additionally, Siakam leads the Raptors with 22.4 points per game.
The Raptors are also 11thin assists-turnover ratio and third in limiting turnovers overall.
They are also extremely pesky on defense, as evidenced by their second-place standing in steals per game.
The Raptors may not be the most skilled team in the NBA, but they will hustle and work hard on every possession. Toronto will look to will their way to a win over the red hot Hawks in this Tuesday night affair.

Who to Bet Hawks at Raptors
These two teams are playing some of their best basketball of the season right now. But can “Ice Trae” carry Atlanta to a sixth straight win on the road, or will the Raptors gritty style of play prove too much to handle.
This is destined to be an exciting game. The Hawks offensive skillset and ability to limit turnovers will provide them with an opportunity to earn the victory on Tuesday.
But the Raptors play well in Toronto, and they are looking for a bounceback victory following their recent loss against the Heat.
The Raptors are also the general favorites amongst those making NBA picks for this matchup due to their home-court advantage. I believe they will take care of business and bring an end to Atlanta’s winning streak.
Take the Toronto Raptors with your Tuesday night NBA betting selection.
