The red-hot Atlanta Hawks concluded 2014 as one of the NBA's most
surprising teams. Now they'll have to keep playing well on the
road to carry that success over into the new year.
現在最夯老應可以說是2014年最讓人驚奇的一支球隊。他們將在新的年度裡
繼續取得更多勝利。
They've won 16 of 18 en route to the East's second-best record
following Tuesday's 109-101 home victory over Cleveland. Atlanta
(23-8) is also off to its best 31-game mark since Dominique
Wilkins led the club to 24-7 in 1993-94.
在最近18場戰役贏得16場的老鷹隊，在對上騎士以109-101取勝後坐上了東
區第二的位置。老鷹到目前為止的31場戰役共23勝8敗，隊史上有如此好的
表現要追朔到1993-94年球季，那時還是Dominique Wilkins還在陣中的時期。
Millsap has totaled 53 points and 25 rebounds in his last two
meetings with Utah (11-21). The power forward, who spent his first
seven seasons with the Jazz, had season highs with 30 points and 17
rebounds in a 100-97 home win Nov. 12.
大前鋒 Millsap 在最近兩場對上爵士(11勝21敗)的比賽共拿下53分25籃板。
他曾在爵士效力了7個球季，也是他加盟NBA的第一支隊伍。在11月12日的比賽
中拿下本季個人新高的30分17板，助球隊以100-97贏球。
The Hawks, who have only two home games until Jan. 19, also seek
their ninth win in 10 road games and first five-game winning streak
away from home since February 2013.
老鷹到1月19日只有兩場主場戰役，他們將尋求接下來10場客場戰役的9勝和2013
年2月以來第一次客場5連勝。
They're playing well on both ends, averaging 105.4 points while giving
up 94.8 in their last nine away from home.
老鷹在上9場客場戰役中共取得105.4分只被攻下94.8分
Jeff Teague has led the way with 23.2 points and 2.7 steals per game
in his past six road games. He had 20 points and eight assists in the
first meeting with Utah and has totaled 48 and 18 in his last two overall.
提格在前六場客場戰役平均拿下23.2分和2.7次抄截。在上一次面對爵士中取得20分
8助攻，本次兩次對陣共拿下48分18助攻。
The Jazz, however, appear to be a much different team than the one that
lost 19 of their first 25. They've won five of seven following Tuesday's
100-94 victory over visiting Minnesota.
爵士在最近的比賽有脫胎換骨的感覺，有別於之前的25戰19敗，爵士在最近7戰獲得五勝
最近一場勝戰是以100-94打敗灰狼。
The Jazz have allowed an average of 91.7 points with a plus-7.3 rebounding
margin over their last seven games, though they were outrebounded by the
Hawks 46-30 in November. They'll have to watch former Utah guard Kyle Korver,
who has totaled 43 points while hitting 8 of 11 from behind the arc in the
past two meetings.
爵士近七場比賽平均一場拿下91.7分rebounding margin為+7.3，雖然上一場對老鷹的
比賽籃板數只有30比老鷹的46還低。他們必須要嚴加看防Kyle Korver，上兩次碰頭共
從爵士手中取得43分，當時在弧頂外11投8中。
心得:
兩隊讓分盤在13號後皆為70%的高過盤率，下午剛剛開出老鷹讓
4.5我認為還算合理，但稍晚已改為5.5，過往戰績老鷹隊爵士贏
多輸少，老鷹這季的表現大家有目共睹，本季兩次對戰皆老鷹勝
出，分別贏3分及2分。雖兩隊讓分盤上過盤能力接近。唯一令人
稍有質疑的是爵士近來取勝的隊伍大部分皆為中後段班的隊伍，
相較之下老鷹就來的穩定。在兩隊各休息兩天的情況下老鷹勝率
高於爵士很多。縱使之前對戰咬得很近，我依然推薦老鷹客讓。
