Key Golden State Warriors Player Ruled Out Against Hawks
USA TODAY Sports

On Saturday evening, the Golden State Warriors  will be in Georgia to face off against Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena. 

For the game, they will remain without one of their best role players, as Dario Saric has been ruled out.  

Saric also missed the team's last game, so this will be his second straight out of action.

Via Anthony Slater of The Athletic:  "Warriors will have the same available players tonight in Atlanta. No veterans resting on second night of back-to-back. Dario Saric remains out with an illness. Dejounte Murray and De'Andre Hunter are questionable for the Hawks."

Saric has played in 44 games and is averaging 10.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists per contest while shooting 48.1% from the field and 41.2% from the three-point range. 

The Warriors are the 12th seed in the Western Conference with a 21-24 record in their first 45 games. 

They are 4-6 over their last ten games but are also in the middle of a two-game winning streak. 

Most recently, the Warriors defeated the Memphis Grizzlies by a score of 121-101 (in Tennessee). 

Following their matchup with the Hawks, they will travel to New York to square off with the Brooklyn Nets on Monday evening at Barclays Center. 

Meanwhile, the Hawks are the tenth seed in the Eastern Conference with a 21-27 record in their first 48 games. 

They are 6-4 over their last ten games and are also in the middle of a three-game winning streak.
