Preview
Tonight one of many hardest stretches of the Atlanta Hawks schedule continues as they host the Boston Celtics. Boston is using a seven-game successful streak due to their high-powered offense.
The twin menace of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown have wreaked havoc on opposing defenses and propelled Boston to the highest of most offensive metrics. Bostons leads the NBA in factors per recreation, offensive ranking, and true taking pictures share.
On the flip facet, Atlanta has struggled offensively. Their All-Star backcourt consisting of Trae Younger and Dejounte Murray, has been mired in a taking pictures stoop. Particularly Younger, who’s taking pictures the bottom percentages of his profession to start out the season.
The silver lining for Hawks followers has been the renaissance of Clint Capela. After regressing final 12 months, Capela has regarded extra like his 2020-21 former self. Nonetheless, consistency has lacked in all places else on Atlanta’s roster.
Hawks coach Nate McMillan all the time preaches the fundamentals, and it rubs off on his group. Atlanta does an ideal job rebounding and limiting turnovers. However on the finish of the day, it is a make-or-miss league, and Atlanta must their subpar taking pictures.

Braves News: Michael Harris to miss significant time, offense turning a corner, more
![Braves News: Michael Harris to miss significant time, offense turning a corner, more](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/zV380ViI222f11CGYfRlDjlAC74=/0x347:4848x2885/fit-in/1200x630/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25493175/usa_today_23555942.jpg)
Just as the offense seems to be finding it’s footing after an epic team slump, they lost another major piece to injury for an extended period, as Michael Harris has a grade 2 hamstring strain. The Braves have had brutal injury luck this season, with arguable the best batter and pitcher in the game out for the season, and missing significant time from Ozzie Albies, Sean Murphy, and now Michael Harris. Nonetheless, the team looks like it may be turning a corner on the offensive end, as they put up nine runs on the Rays Saturday. They hit four home runs and could easily have had another, as Ramon Laureano was robbed in his Braves debut. Michael should be back sometime this season, so hopefully the team can chug along with improved offense and more of the same stellar pitching they have gotten so far. This team still has the talent to be a force in October if the non-Acuna and Strider pieces can be healthy for the playoffs.
Braves News
Michael Harris II was transferred to the IL Saturday morning, with Ramon Laureano getting the call-up in his place. It was revealed after the game that he has a grade 2 hamstring strain and is expected to miss roughly 4-6 weeks, judging by the average for that particular injury.
The Braves strung together their third straight complete team victory, with Charlie Morton putting together a strong start and the offense showing out with some power.
MLB News
Dodgers’ Yoshinobu Yamamoto exited his start early with a tricep injury. That’s a hit to the Dodgers’ pitching staff that already has some injury questions.
Kris Bryant will continue to miss time with an internal oblique strain, continuing what has been a catastrophic free agent signing for the Rockies, and one that was already puzzling at the time of the deal.
Pirates’ Henry Davis will hit the 7-day concussion IL, replaced by Jason Delay for the time being.
The Phillies activated Brandon Marsh off the IL, after a roughly two week absence for the outfielder.

Blessing's late goal helps Dynamo tie Atlanta 2-2
(AP) – Latif Blessing scored in the 89th minute to help the Houston Dynamo to 2-2 tie with Atlanta United on Saturday night.
Coco Carrasquilla chipped an entry — while Amine Bassi occupied a defender — to Blessing at the left corner of the 6-yard box for the finish to cap the scoring.
Griffin Dorsey played a volley, off a corner kick by Héctor Herrera, that ricocheted off the crossbar to Franco Escobar at the right corner of the 6-yard box for a header that gave Houston a 1-0 lead in the fifth minute. Escobar, a 29-year-old defender who spent his first four MLS seasons with Atlanta, has a career-high tying two goals this season and seven in his seven-plus year career.
Atlanta goalkeeper Brad Guzan played a long pass and Daniel Ríos won the ball in the attacking third and back-heeled a pass to Luke Brennan on the right side of the area. Brennan slipped an low entry pass behind a defender to Thiago Almada, whose shot from point-blank range was parried by Clark but Ríos was there for the putback into an empty net to make it 1-1 in the 25th minute.
Xande Silva, from just inside the left end line, blasted a shot that slipped under the crossbar and inside the back post to give Atlanta a 2-1 lead in the 55th minute.
Guzan stopped seven shots for Atlanta.
Steve Clark had three saves for Houston (6-6-5).
Atlanta (4-8-5) has just one win (a 3-1 defeat of Inter Miami on May 29) since a 3-1 win over the Chicago Fire on March 31.
The Dynamo outshot Atlanta 19-11, 9-5 on target.
