The Atlanta Hawks come into this game after a 109–97 home loss to the Toronto Raptors, marking their third defeat in four home games this season. Despite holding a four-point lead heading into the final quarter, a late collapse cost them the win as their offense struggled to maintain rhythm.
Now sitting at 4–5, Atlanta are yet to find consistency under Quin Snyder, especially on the defensive end. They have allowed an average of 115.6 points per game, putting pressure on their backcourt duo of Trae Young and Dejounte Murray to carry the load offensively.
Young, who averages around 26 points and 9 assists per game, continues to lead by example, while Murray adds valuable two-way impact. However, the Hawks’ inability to close out games and protect home court remains a major concern heading into this clash with one of the league’s hottest teams.

The Los Angeles Lakers have been one of the standout teams early in the 2025–26 NBA season, posting a 7–2 record following their narrow 118–116 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. Head coach JJ Redick has quickly implemented a balanced offensive system built on ball movement and transition efficiency.
The Lakers are riding a five-game winning streak and have been perfect on the road (4–0) so far this season. LeBron James continues to defy time, averaging nearly 28 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists, while Anthony Davis anchors the defense with 2.5 blocks per game.
Their supporting cast — including Austin Reaves, D’Angelo Russell, and Rui Hachimura — have stepped up with consistent scoring and defensive effort. Los Angeles also hold a 4–2 head-to-head advantage over Atlanta in their last six meetings, making them favorites heading into this one.
MatchPlug Prediction for Atlanta Hawks vs Los Angeles Lakers
The Hawks are struggling to defend and close games, while the Lakers are clicking on both ends of the floor. Atlanta’s home form has been underwhelming, with three losses in four, and their defensive frailties are likely to be exposed again.
The Lakers, on the other hand, have shown resilience in tight contests and look every bit like a team capable of extending their road dominance. Their superior defense, depth, and composure in clutch moments should see them through once again.
Final Prediction: Los Angeles Lakers
