Ahead of the 2022-23 season, the Hawks traded with the Spurs for all-star guard Dejounte Murray. Atlanta gave up Danilo Gallinari and three first-round picks for the 27-year-old. In two seasons, Murray has proved to be worth what the Hawks had to give up. The former first-round pick is averaging a career-high (22.7) points per game along with (5.3) rebounds, (6.2) assists, and (1.5) steals. Additionally, his (.366) three-point percentage is the highest of his career since the 2019-20 season.
On Thursday. Murray’s game-winner vs. the Celtics was his third this season. Murray hit game-winning shots in back-to-back games on 1/17 and 1/19. Per StatMamba, all of Murray’s game-winners have come against top-10 defenses in the NBA. When Murray’s final shot went in, there was only.01 seconds left on the clock. A stunning end to the game that stuck a dagger in the hearts of Celtics fans. It was Boston’s second loss in a row.

At this point in the year, the Hawks only have nine games left in the regular season. Atlanta is only one game behind the Bulls who are ninth in the East. On April 1, the Hawks will be on the road to face Chicago in what will be an important matchup. With Trae Young still out, expect Dejounte Murray to be Atlanta’s star player. The 27-year-old is doing what he can to help the team win.
