Miami Heat Now Have Dejounte Murray And Trae Young To Worry About On The Atlanta Hawks

Time was, the Miami Heat had guard Trae Young atop their scouting reporting report when facing the Atlanta Hawks.

That was the case during last year's playoff series but is no longer an option. The Hawks acquired help for Young when they acquired Djounte Murray from the San Antonio Spurs.

The two have since developed into one of the NBA's top duos. Murray scored a career-high 41 points in Friday's win against the Portland Trail Blazers. Young and Murray are averaging a combined 48.2 points entering tonight's game against the Heat.

Young was the Hawks lone big-time scoring threat for so many years until Murray's arrival. He is averaging 21.2 points but proven he can score when Young is having an off night.

“He's the king of the mid-range jumper right now,” Young said of Murray.

The Heat have to find a way to stop both if they are to maintain the No. 7 spot in the Eastern Conference standings. The Hawks are just a half game back.
