Pelicans vs Hawks Key Stats
On Saturday night, the New Orleans Pelicans will play their sixth away game altogether out of their first eight games when they travel to Atlanta. After a three-day break following a 120–117 loss to the Lakers in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, New Orleans will play its second back-to-back here.
Despite missing Brandon Ingram (concussion protocol) for four games and Zion Williamson (hip injury) for an additional two, New Orleans is tied for second in the league in points per game this season and is shooting close to 49%. The young Pelicans continue to benefit from McCollum's solid leadership as he leads the team in minutes played, assists, and assist-to-turnover ratio.
The Hawks will be at home and well-rested when the Pelicans visit on Saturday. Since beating the Knicks 112-99 in New York on Wednesday night, Atlanta has not played.
The Hawks' points per game average and shooting percentage rank them 11th and ninth, respectively, in the league. They will be well-rested and ready to go when they face the Pelicans, who played the Warriors on Friday night and then flew back across the country after the LA game. The Hawks ought to be able to create numerous simple scoring chances.

Pelicans vs Hawks Best Picks and Prediction
Due to their journey and the fact that they are playing a team that hasn't played since Wednesday, the Pelicans face a difficult opponent despite their youth.
The Hawks have an exceptional backcourt in Murray and Young, who shoot the ball at a high rate, defend the hoop, and shoot threes pretty well.
Young should be fine because he has had three days to recover from his eye injury. However, Ingram will be playing in back-to-back games after missing four games due to a concussion.
New Orleans will be healthier than it has been in weeks. In this contest, he will surely be rusty. In this game, New Orleans will probably have trouble transitioning because of their overall poor defensive field goal %, which ranks 15th in the league.
Pick: Hawks -2.5 (-110)
