The Atlanta Hawks face an even tougher challenger after losing to the Hornets, as they host the San Antonio Spurs in game 29 of the NBA. While the Hawks are an offensive threat, the Spurs edge them both upfront and in the defensive department. See our best Atlanta Hawks vs San Antonio Spurs match prediction.

We see the Spurs winning, but in a scenario where they don't, San Antonio should lose by more than 3 points to the Hawks. In other words, a win for the Hawks will likely come down to a one-possession game. For starters, San Antonio has the 6th-best offensive rating this season (118.0), just behind the Thunder, who the Spurs just knocked out in the NBA Cup semifinals.

The Spurs are also 9th in points per game (PPG), making 119.2 on average. San Antonio's relatively low points allowed of 114.2 (9th-lowest) also gives them a +5.0 +/- for the season, surpassing the Hawks, who are +0.3.

While the Hawks have the 7th-best FG% (48.3%), the return of Wembanyama and his defensive output should lower those numbers against the Spurs. When Wemby is the closest defender in the restricted area, opponents shoot just 52%, which is almost 15% lower than the league average.
