After dropping an ugly loss to the Sacramento Kings on Thursday night, the Golden State Warriors will have the opportunity to stop their three-game slide on the second leg of a back-to-back against the Atlanta Hawks at Chase Center.
Following De’Aaron Fox’s career-high 44 point performance, the Warriors will have to limit another young star point guard on Friday night. During his third season in the NBA, Atlanta’s Trae Young is averaging 25.8 points on 43.2% shooting from the field with 9.4 assists and 4.0 rebounds per contest.
With Steph Curry slated to miss his fifth game due to a tailbone contusion, Jordan Poole will be in charge of keeping pace with Young on Friday. During his four-game run in the starting lineup, Poole is averaging 21.8 points on 46.2% shooting from the floor with 3.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 35.2 minutes per game.
