My people, na today we go see wetin dey happen as Atlanta Hawks go waka enter Golden State Warriors ground for Chase Center.
Dis match na critical one, because both teams dey use am take measure demself as dem dey try enter top 6 for conference. Warriors dey hold 21-18 record while Hawks sit down for corner wit 19-21. Dem don dey sharp since dem start to catch fire for home, especially after dem get three wins back-to-back.
Seth Curry no go play today, he dey deal with thigh wahala. But Warriors still get Steph Curry wey dey shine like star. Na him dey power their offense, but we go see as other players go fit hold ground without am. Kristaps Porzingis dey questionable for Atlanta, so dem dey wait to hear if e go fit join dem. If him no fit, na big chance for Onyeka Okongwu to shine again!!!
Last time wey dem play, Steph dey deliver back-to-back assists and points like say na small chop. But bean no go fit enter today because na after dem trade Trae Young for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert, Hawks dey look better. Last match, dem show strength as dem clear Nuggets wey no fit score pass 87 points.
Jalen Johnson don help carry team for shoulder, 29 points and 9 rebounds na him numbers. Plus, Dyson Daniels show say e sabi how to run the show – triple-double na him first and e enter ayok. Na im go join the line-up alongside McCollum and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Dem go need all the firepower to face Warriors wey dey bounce back from their last game wey dem thrash Sacramento Kings.
Golden State dey hold position for 8th seed, but dem go need make their offense dey sharp today. Stats show say dem dey number 19 for points per game, dem try stop opponent turn-over, but dem still dey 23rd for that. Dem go need to make sure say their defense dey tight, wey dey number 7 this season.
Both teams get their strength and weakness. Warriors sabi shoot three-pointers pass anything, and na dem dey number one for points wey dem get from three. If Hawks no fit close down dem shots, e go be serious matter today. But if Atlanta fit lock down, dem go fit take advantage of the Warriors poor defense inside paint.
We go dey watch how McCollum and Kispert go fit gel with the team today. Na dis kind match wey go determine who dey ready for playoff as we dey enter second half of the season. Make we no forget, Atlanta don dey cover spread sharp for road, and if dem fit keep am for dis match, e fit be better day for dem.
So gather your friends, shine your eyes, as we dey wait for tip-off at 8:30 p.m. ET. Who go shine today? My bet na on Atlanta to carry the day! Naija ready, make we dey jolly!
