Hawks vs. Trail Blazers Prediction, Odds, Picks - Jan. 15

Shaedon Sharpe - Socres team-high 19 points in loss Sharpe finished Tuesday's 119-97 loss to the Warriors with 19 points (9-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes.

Impact Sharpe and Caleb Love were the only double-digit scorers in the starting five. Although Sharpe, Love and a host of bench players did their best to keep the team afloat, Deni Avdija's absence illustrated how the team relies on him. They are in the playoff hunt with his contributions, and we've seen in previous seasons how the team fares when Sharpe is forced to handle most of the load.

Rayan Rupert - Wakes up with 13-point effort Rupert totaled 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 119-97 loss to the Warriors.

Impact The 21-year-old Frenchman is a key development player for the Trail Blazers, and he's been a fixture on the bench for most of the season despite short stints in the G League. His 13 -point showing marked his second-best showing of the season and his third consecutive double-digit finish. Although his performances have been encouraging, his usefulness may be coming to an end with Jrue Holiday close to 100 percent.

Caleb Love - Fills in with 17 points Love finished Tuesday's 119-97 loss to Golden State with 17 points (5-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-8 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals over 34 minutes.

Impact Love was a decent fill-in for Deni Avdija (back), but the Trail Blazers needed Avdija's firepower in the blowout loss. The team is happy to see Jrue Holiday back in action, but the team is a shell of itself without Avdija's contributions. Love did all he could, but the rookie had to fill big shoes during the loss. Love will revert to the bench once Avidja is cleared to return.
