Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks will return to State Farm Arena on Tuesday night to face the Portland Trail Blazers. Both teams continue their postseason pushes in opposite conferences, with the Trail Blazers holding a more speculative case than the Hawks.
Atlanta enters the night in seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings, while Portland is four games back of the play-in tournament in the West with seven games remaining.
Young is listed as probable with right Achilles tendinitis, but finished with 19 points and 19 assists in Sunday’s 145-124 win over the Milwaukee Bucks. The Hawks have won four of their past six games, including Sunday’s victory that marked their highest scoring output of the season.
Here is the featured Trae Young prop bet on DraftKings Sportsbook for Tuesday’s game against the Trail Blazers.
Best Trae Young Prop Bet on DraftKings Sportsbook
Over 36.5 Points + Assists (-110)
Young averaged 25.3 points and 12.0 assists in 13 games last month and remains one of the league’s most productive offensive guards. He has cleared this combined line often lately and will continue to handle a high-usage role in Tuesday’s matchup.
The Hawks shot 53.2% from the field against the Bucks and outscored Milwaukee 36-17 in the third quarter to take control. Young helped guide the effort with consistent passing in the halfcourt and in transition, as Atlanta finished with 28 points off 14 Milwaukee turnovers. The Hawks will be tough to contain if they continue this momentum.
The Trail Blazers arrive in Atlanta having lost five consecutive road games, including a 110-93 defeat at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. Portland could again be without backup guard Scoot Henderson, who remains in concussion protocol, while Anfernee Simons continues to play through a forearm contusion.
With Young healthy enough to log major minutes and the Hawks needing wins to maintain their position, he should see enough opportunities to generate a strong scoring and playmaking performance at home.
