The Hawks are coming into this game playing much better in their recent games and they have won 3 of their last 4 games. The Hawks have not had a good season this year and they have put themselves in a position where they are holding down the final playoff spot but they are starting to play much better and have even won their last 2 games by double digits. They are starting to buckle down with only 7 games left and they are solely focused on winning games right now to get back to the playoffs. They are going up against a Thunder side that happens to be one of the worst teams in the NBA this season but is coming off of a win in their last game. They have actually won 2 of their last 3 games but they have not been beating anyone that great and most of their recent wins have come against bottom feeder teams like the Trail Blazers and the Magic. They have also been missing almost all of their entire starting lineup and the Hawks will be sure to take advantage of an easy spot for them to win another game here. The Hawks have been starting to gain some steam recently and they will keep on gaining steam with another win by double digits in this game.
