Trae Young turns in 45 points, 14 assists as Hawks win easy
Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young scored 45 points (13-of-24 field goals, 13-of-16 free throws) with 6 rebounds, 14 assists, 1 steal, 6 3-pointers, and 5 turnovers in 39.0 minutes of a 152-133 win over the Washington Wizards on Sunday.
Young, who typically wears No. 11, started the game in No. 8 on Sunday to honor Kobe Bryant. After the Hawks won the opening tip, Young took an eight-second violation as another tribute to the fallen legend. He then returned to his No. 11, finishing with 24 shot attempts and 81 percent from the line. Young has now scored over 40 points twice in the last three games and handed out 14-plus assists in all three. The Hawks will visit the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday.
Young scored 71.2 FanDuel points on Sunday, his second-highest output of the season. Over the last 10 games, Young is averaging 55.2 FanDuel points per contest.
