Starter Grades:

Trae was in a position tonight that he’s rarely in, able to take a back seat and still see the Hawks come out with a comfortable win. He was fantastic running the offense, dishing out 14 assists to go with his 22 points. He made just one of his six three-point attempts, but had the floaters dropping. Tonight was just the second time since January 18th that he’s played less than 31 minutes.. PG. Atlanta Hawks. TRAE YOUNG. B

Atlanta Hawks. KEVIN HUERTER. B. Kev finally jumped out of the slump he’d been in for the last handful of games, and knocked down both open and contested shots all night. He made six of ten attempts from the field, three of four from deep. His 15 points were the lowest of any starter, but that’s more of a testament on his teammate’s play tonight rather than a diss on Huerter’s performance. He added a block and a team best plus/minus of +31.. SG

A -. Cam slid into the starting spot and performed in a big way. Reddish hit a career high six threes en route to a career high 26 points. He made nine of 14 shots overall, and had some key plays on the other side of the court as well. He’s progressed so much since his rough start to the year and is one of the most fun Hawks to watch now.. SF. Atlanta Hawks. CAM REDDISH

B +. Not to be out-shined by his fellow rookie’s performance, Hunter also had a good night. The Virginia product made 60 percent of his shots to record 18 points. He made it a double-double by adding ten rebounds. His plus/minus of +22 is the third best of his career, and he looked like a true #4 pick on both ends of the court.. SF/PF. Atlanta Hawks. DE'ANDRE HUNTER
