It was a disappointing effort in Game 2 from Trae Young, nothing was going his way as he finished the game with just 15 points and three assists. Before that he had three straight games of double-digit assists and he has gone over 9.5 assists four times in his last six outings. Atlanta’s success in Game 3 will largely depend on Young’s ability to get everyone involved, he doesn’t have to put up 30-plus points for them to win. As long as he gets ten or more assists Atlanta can keep the game close.
Read our full game preview for Game 3 of Milwaukee Bucks vs. Atlanta Hawks!
Collins has been a big factor in Atlanta’s postseason success. He had a playoff career-high 23 points in the surprising Game 1 win at Milwaukee. He shot 55 percent in Game 2 and was one of the bright spot for the Hawks in the blowout loss. In ten of 14 Playoff games he has scored double-digit points and is currently shooting 56 percent from the field, 35 percent from three and 87 percent from the charity stripe. Expect a productive bounce-back game after the 11 points he had in Game 2.
One other thing that has been impressive when it comes to Collins has been his rebounding. He finished with at least ten rebounds in six of his last eight games. Before Game 2 of this series, which he finished with eight rebounds, he had a streak of five straight games of double-figure rebounds. It’s worth pointing out his 16 boards effort in Game 7 against the Philadelphia 76ers — with the form he is in I have no doubt he will have a big night on the boards in front of the home fans.
We shouldn’t really be discouraged by the fact that Giannis had only nine assists in the previous game, after all he played only 29 minutes as the game was never really that close. He’s been the most active player on the boards for the Bucks and has grabbed ten or more in all but one game this postseason. His average currently stands at 13.2 and it’s also worth pointing out that over his last four games he has grabbed 3.5 offensive rebounds. If he continues to be that aggressive there’s no doubt we are in for another big night on the boards for the Greek Freak.
