They have lost 3 of their last 4 games and are coming into this one on a 2 game losing streak after another loss in their last game.

The Hawks have been struggling recently losing 3 of their last 4 games coming into this one but they have actually been playing much better overall recently and those are their only 3 losses over their last 10 games. The Hawks had a very bad losing record for most of the season but they have gone on a few runs and have started to win more games recently and are now only 3 wins from having an even record. They are going up against a Pacers team here that has kept losing more and more games slowly slipping down the standings and have become one of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference. This is exactly the kind of team that the Hawks need to bounce back and get back on track again. The Hawks have way more talent on their side and they have been playing a lot better than the Pacers have recently. The Hawks should be able to pull off a nice double digit win here at home.

"I thought our guys rallied and showed up, especially in the first half. They hit us with a barrage of 3s, and it got to be too much. We're a team with a thin margin for error to begin with." - Rick Carlisle on his team’s loss against the Cavaliers on Sunday night.

 

 

"It's one of those nights you don't shoot the ball great. I felt like I had a lot of really good looks and some open shots that I normally hit. I wish I could get them back and knock them down." - Trae Young on their loss against the Mavericks on Sunday night.
