Hawks vs Raptors Injury Report

The Hawks won’t have Zaccharie Risacher, Jalen Johnson, Cody Zeller, Larry Nance Jr., or Kobe Bufkin. Clint Capela is probable, while Trae Young is questionable for the Hawks.

The Toronto Raptors will be without Immanuel Quickley due to a groin injury, while Ochai Agbaji is questionable with a hand injury. Kelly Olynyk is also out with a calf injury.

Hawks vs Raptors Prediction

I took the Raptors and the points over the Hawks on Thursday, and it resulted in an outright run. I’m going to do the same on Saturday. The Hawks are injured, and now we’re seeing Trae Young listed as questionable, which is a setback from recent games. The Hawks are also 18-26 ATS on the season after being the worst cover team last year. The Raptors are as healthy as they’ve been all season, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence they’ve won four of their last five games. The Raptors have outright won four of their last five games as an underdog. Check to see if Young plays before betting. I’m still grabbing the points with the Raptors on the road.
