Game Preview

Oklahoma City’s Chet Holmgren has started the season on fire, delivering 23 points and 15 rebounds per game while shooting 52.8 percent. He’ll look to keep up this impressive pace as the Thunder host the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday, marking OKC’s first home game of the season.

Holmgren’s play has matched the Thunder’s defensive intensity; they lead the league in fewest points allowed, holding opponents to just 91 points per game. Alex Caruso highlighted the team’s defensive chemistry, noting their knack for creating deflections and clogging passing lanes.

However, the Thunder’s outside shooting has been rough, sinking just 21.1 percent from beyond the arc. They’ll aim to improve from distance and build on Saturday’s 114-95 win over Chicago in their bid for their first 3-0 start since 2016-17.

Atlanta’s Trae Young has also opened the season in MVP form, averaging 34 points and 11 assists, joining Oscar Robertson as the only players to start a season with consecutive 30-point, 10-assist games. Young is shooting efficiently and generating ample free throws, contributing to the Hawks’ league-leading 42 attempts per game from the charity stripe.

With each team winning a game at home last season, both squads have something to prove in this matchup. Will OKC’s defense hold strong, or will Trae Young’s playmaking bring Atlanta its third straight win?
