The Atlanta Hawks have been in a real slump as they've lost six of their last eight games overall, and they will be eager to bounce back here after getting beaten by the Magic in a 119-112 road defeat on Tuesday. Onyeka Okongwu led the team with 30 points, 14 rebounds, and four assists; Trae Young tallied 28 points with 10 assists, while Dyson Daniels chipped in with 15 points, five rebounds, and two blocks. As a team, the Hawks shot 45 percent from the field and 14 of 41 from the 3-point line as they struggled to match the Magic from the start and leaked 36 points in the second quarter to fall behind by 14 points. The Hawks rallied to get within six points late in the fourth quarter, but they needed more from Zachharie Risacher, who scored just eight points, and Georges Niang, who scored just nine points. 

Brooklyn Nets Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets have been doing it tough as they've lost eight of their last 11 games overall, but they will be eager to build some momentum after sneaking past the Pelicans in a 119-114 home win on Tuesday. Trendon Watford led the team with 22 points and five assists on seven of eight shooting, Drew Timme added 16 points with nine rebounds, while Dariq Whitehead chipped in with 14 points off the bench. As a team, the Nets shot 49 percent from the field and 17 of 40 from the 3-point line as they kept pace with the Pelicans in a tightly contested first half. Before they broke free with 43 points in the third quarter to take a 20-point lead and earn the overdue win. The Nets will play against the Timberwolves following this one.

Atlanta Hawks vs Brooklyn Nets Prediction

The Hawks are still shorthanded with Larry Nance Jr, Jalen Johnson, and Clint Capela, while the Nets have ruled out Cam Thomas, Cameron Johnson, and D'Angelo Russell once again. The Hawks are still jostling for positioning in the play-in tournament, while the Nets just can't wait for the regular season to end. Sure, the Nets looked good in their narrow win over the Pelicans on Tuesday, but they are just so banged up at the moment. I can't see them having enough firepower to hang with the Hawks in this spot.
