The Atlanta Hawks are one of the most exciting young teams in the league, led by Trae Young. With the pieces they have in place, the Atlanta Hawks odds to be a good team this year are fairly decent.
Atlanta Hawks Game 1 Matchup Preview
The Hawks’ first of many NBA matchups this season will come against the Houston Rockets, as it’ll give this group a great chance to get settled into the season.
The Rockets don’t project to be a good team this year whatsoever, so this will give the new backcourt of Trae Young and Dejounte Murray plenty of room to work with as they try and build chemistry for now and the future.
The Hawks will also be getting a good look at some of the young guns in Houston who are looking for an opportunity in:
- Jabari Smith Jr.
- Jalen Green
- Alperen Sengun
- Kevin Porter Jr.
The Atlanta Hawks odds to win the first game of the season are looking pretty good.
2022 Atlanta Hawks Schedule
The Hawks have a very easy start to their season, as they’ll be going up against the Houston Rockets, Orlando Magic, Charlotte Hornets, and Detroit Pistons (twice) in their first five games of the season.
However, things will get a bit trickier from there, as they’ll then face off against:
- Milwaukee Bucks
- Toronto Raptors
- New York Knicks
- New Orleans Pelicans
- Milwaukee Bucks
It will be imperative for this young group to take full advantage of their first five games to begin the season to carry some of that momentum into the more difficult games.
Atlanta Hawks Season Props
NBA betting picks have the over/under win total for the Hawks this year, sitting at 45.5 games.
That is a pretty reasonable number to have them at, as this team could definitely make the playoffs but may not have exactly what it takes to win 50+ games.
NBA Player Stats
Trae Young should be expected to put up high NBA player stats in both the points and assists categories while hitting a lot of 3-pointers.
Dejounte Murray may see some of his scorings decrease a little, but his assists and rebounding should still be right up there with where it was when he was with the San Antonio Spurs.
Clint Capela should continue to grab a lot of rebounds while putting up decent scoring numbers. John Collins and Bogdan Bogdanovic should also continue to score the ball at a high rate.
Atlanta Hawks 2022 Season Odds
The Hawks have a chance to be a special team this season, as Trae Young has proven to be one of the best point guards in the league.
Hawks 2022 NBA Title Odds
The Atlanta Hawks odds to win the NBA title are not so high, as they likely don’t have what it takes to beat teams such as:
- Brooklyn Nets
- Milwaukee Bucks
- Boston Celtics
- Philadelphia 76ers
- Miami Heat
In a 7-game playoff series.
Atlanta Hawks Playoff Odds
The Atlanta Hawks should be able to get to the playoffs for the third consecutive season, as the players that make up this roster put up decently high NBA team stats as a collective.
Trae Young is more than good enough to lead an NBA team to the playoffs, and the addition of Dejounte Murray should help take a ton of defensive pressure off of him.
The surrounding group of John Collins, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Clint Capela makes this team dangerous, so the playoffs are definitely within reach.
Hawks Southeast Division Division Odds
It would take the Miami Heat battling through some injuries or coasting through the regular season for the Hawks to win this division.
Otherwise, they aren’t likely to win, although they present the biggest threat to their South Beach rivals.
Hawks Eastern Conference Championship Odds
The Hawks could take a team to six or seven games, but it seems very unlikely that they’ll be able to take down:
- Brooklyn Nets
- Milwaukee Bucks
- Philadelphia 76ers
- Boston Celtics
- Miami Heat
In a 7-game series. This team will be very exciting but don’t count on them being good enough to reach the NBA Finals.
