NBA Saturday Preview:

First Game) Atlanta Hawks at Washington Wizards
Game 3 will be very important , but in this case, more important for the Wizards. Finding out that John Wall has 6 fractures in his hand is a huge blow to the Wizards. Wall was averaging over 12 assist per game in the 2015 playoffs.  Having the series tied at 1-1, it will be imparative that the Wizards come out with a win today. If they fail to do so, they will face the potential of going down 3-1 with a loss in Game 4. The goal for the Wizards should be to extend the series as long as they can in order to give Wall time to potentially come back. If he is unable to, their best strategy would be to  win their home games and steal at least one more game in Atlanta.


Second Game) Warriors at Memphis Grizzlies
Memphis took care of business against the Warriors in Game 2, winning in Oracle Arena. This win came with the return of Mike Conley , which will help during the rest of the series. If the Grizzlies want to have a good chance of winning the series, they too must focus on winning at home. The Warriors haven't lost many games at home, so don't expect the Warriors to lose two times in a row at home.
