Nets vs Hawks Prediction: Who Will Win?
The Eastern Conference Semifinals are set to begin on Tuesday, May 10th, with the Brooklyn Nets taking on the Atlanta Hawks. Both teams have had successful regular seasons, with the Nets finishing with the second-best record in the East and the Hawks finishing with the fifth-best record.
The Nets are the clear favorites to win the series, but the Hawks have a few things going for them. First, they have home-court advantage for the first two games of the series. Second, they have a lot of young talent, led by Trae Young and John Collins. And third, they have a lot of experience in the playoffs, having made it to the Eastern Conference Finals last year.
The Nets, on the other hand, have a lot of star power, led by Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden. They also have a lot of experience in the playoffs, having won the NBA championship in 2012.
Ultimately, the Nets are the more talented team and should be able to win the series. However, the Hawks are a dangerous team and could certainly pull off an upset.
Key Matchups
- Kevin Durant vs. John Collins
- Kyrie Irving vs. Trae Young
- James Harden vs. Dejounte Murray
These are the three key matchups to watch in the series. Durant is the best player on the Nets, while Collins is the Hawks' best young player. Irving is the Nets' best shooter, while Young is the Hawks' best playmaker. Harden is the Nets' best all-around player, while Murray is the Hawks' best defender.
Prediction
The Nets are the clear favorites to win the series, but the Hawks have a few things going for them. I think the Nets will win the series in six games.
