Trae Young led the Hawks with 29 points (10-of-21 FGs), two rebounds, 12 assists, two steals, six three-pointers and five turnovers in a 122-112 loss to the Heat on Thursday.
Young didn’t have a ton of help from his teammates, but he was able to have another monster night. This was his third-straight game with exactly 12 assists, and of his four consecutive double-doubles, he has had at least 25 points in three of them. Turnovers continue to plague him, but that will always be an issue. He has been more efficient as a shooter recently. He has shot 51.5 percent from the floor over Atlanta’s last six games, which has him ranked 13th in nine-cat formats on Basketball Monster during that stretch. Managers shouldn’t expect him to stay this hot, but it is an enjoyable hot streak.
