In Thursday’s victory over the Jazz, Jalen Johnson led the way for the Hawks as he recorded a triple-double with 31 points, 18 rebounds, 14 assists and seven steals while Onyeka Okongwu added 32 points and 11 rebounds of his own.

PHOENIX -- Injuries are keeping some pretty big names off the court in tonight's contest between the Phoenix Suns and Atlanta Hawks. For Phoenix, the Suns are still without Jalen Green as he recovers from his hamstring injury that's unfortunately nagged him dating back to preseason.

Suns' big Mark Williams sat out the second of a back-to-back Nov. 13 with right knee injury management. He has yet to play in the second of a back-to-back this season. Williams is averaging 11.7 points and 8.8 rebounds in his first season in Phoenix.

Recent reports indicate that the Atlanta Hawks will shop Kristaps Porzingis’ expiring contract, as rival executives predict a major move.

The SVP of finance, who no longer works for the Hawks, is accused of changing financial reports to hide his company credit card charges.

The Atlanta Hawks might be on the second night of a back-to-back, but they are playing very well coming into tonight's game vs the Utah Jazz. Atlanta has won three in a row, with two of those in blowout fashion, and they will will look to not only extend their winning streak to four, but move to 3-0 on their current four game road trip.

The Los Angeles Lakers’ season record stands at seven wins and three losses through their first ten games. Their latest setback came against the Atlanta Hawks, where they fell 122-102.

Yet, the elephant in the room is that the Hawks are winning without Trae Young, playing a defense-first brand of basketball that does not appear to play to the four-time All-Star’s strengths. So… are they better off without him?
