Starter Grades:

B +. Trae showed his value both on and off the court tonight, putting up his nightly numbers and watching the Hawks’ offense fall apart a bit with him on the bench. He didn’t particularly shoot well — something that’s been true since his 50-point night against Miami. Trae shot 1-8 from three tonight, managing 25 points thanks to a perfect 10-10 showing from the stripe. The best part of Trae’s night was his assist to turnover ratio, which was 15 to 2.. PG. Atlanta Hawks. TRAE YOUNG

Atlanta Hawks. KEVIN HUERTER. B -. Kev was “granted” the opportunity to cover <a rel=. SG

Atlanta Hawks. CAM REDDISH. C +. A quieter night from Reddish coming off his career-high night in points. He scored eight on nine shots, making two of five from three. His plus/minus of +16 was the best on his team, and he played his usual sharp defense even while his shot wasn’t falling.. SF

Rookie De’Andre Hunter turned in his second straight terrific performance, and was on fire from deep all night. He tied his career-high with six made threes, adding four rebounds and a block in his team-high 38 minutes. Hunter’s development has been a bit overshadowed by <a rel=. SF/PF. Atlanta Hawks. DE'ANDRE HUNTER. A -

A -. John Collins continued to play his highly efficient brand of offense, making nine of 14 shots while dealing with <a rel=. PF/C. Atlanta Hawks. JOHN COLLINS
