The Atlanta Hawks have been one of the more surprising teams this season. They currently sit tied for fourth in the Eastern Conference ahead of teams like Boston, and last year’s champs, Miami. Atlanta has been especially good more recently in the season, and Lou Williams, since his move from LA, has been a key reason why.

 
Odds vs. MIL: ATL +213 (Spread +6.5)

LOU WILL IS STILL A HIGH-QUALITY SCORER IN THE CLUTCH

COLORS KEY | FULL HAWKS OUTLOOK 

Atlanta defeated the third-seeded Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night thanks to a fourth quarter comeback, and Williams was the spark for it. He had 15 points, and every single one came in the final period. 12 of his 15 came from three-pointers all within the last seven minutes of the contest. One of his buckets gave the Hawks their first lead of the second half.

Lou Will has been clutch throughout his career, and still is at 34 years of age. The Clippers trading him away made it clear that they didn’t value him too highly anymore, but he is proving to them that he can still ball, especially in the clutch. His 23.4 minutes per game with Atlanta have been efficient and key to their recent success, going 11-3 with Williams in the squad.
