Atlanta is off to a strong start and wants to be the top dog in the Southeast Division. This is a game they should win.
New Orleans has one of the most superlative players in the league in Anthony Davis but building around him has been a challenge.
Atlanta swept both games against the Pelicans last season.
New Orleans Pelicans
When it comes to stuffing a box score few do it better than Davis who is leading the league in scoring and blocks while averaging 11.4 rebounds per game.

The problem is the surrounding talent is underwhelming, though it has gotten better with Jrue Holiday back in the lineup.
Tyreke Evans is an aggressive player who can put up some numbers but he has been out all season. Top pick Buddy Hield has struggled to transfer his game to the NBA in his absence.

Unfortunately that has meant that NBA retreads E’Twaun Moore and Langston Galloway are getting more playing time. They are not proving to deserving of it just yet.
Davis also gets almost no help up front. The combo of Alex Ajinca and Omer Asik at centre are averaging less than 7ppg. They are willing to hit the boards though.
Davis is fantastic and masks how bad this team really is.
Atlanta Hawks
The Hawks shuffled the deck a little by promoting Dennis Schroeder and signing Dwight Howard and so far things are looking good.
Atlanta has started much better than most teams that are integrating significant pieces because they have not changed the way they play and they have one of the steadiest players in the league, Paul Milsap, as their hub.
This team has never been about one player either.
Schroeder has some skills as a penetrator but you have to wonder about the fit as a starting PG because of his turnovers…and he is not a great shooter.
Kyle Korver is and he has looked good. Last year he shot just under 40% from three, something he had not done since the 08-09 season. He is at 41% this season and helps to space the floor.
Atlanta just might be the deepest team in the league with 11 players averaging 10 or more minutes per game. They want to play with flow and never seem that winded.

Howard in on a roll with 5 double-doubles in a row. He has had ten or more rebounds in every game save one this season so the Hawks are getting their money’s worth.
Atlanta is 6-1 SUAT at home this season.

Free New Orleans Pelicans vs. Atlanta Hawks NBA Prediction:
I have no crystal ball but this one seems likely to play out like so many Pelicans games will this season. Davis will put up some big fantasy numbers in a loss.
I was not hot on the Hawks to start the year and have missed some opportunities. Still time to cash in though.
