Atlanta HawksÂ
The Atlanta Hawks have really been struggling as they are now hoping to avoid an eighth straight defeat after getting routed by the Cavaliers in a 137-115 road defeat on Thursday. Zaccharie Risacher led the team with 30 points on 11 of 14 shooting, De’Andre Hunter added 25 points off the bench while Trae Young chipped in with 15 points and 10 assists. As a team, the Hawks shot 45 percent from the field and 13 of 39 from the 3-point line as they struggled to contain the Cavaliers from the start, allowing 39 points in the first quarter and another 39 points in the third quarter to trailing by as many as 29 points in this defeat. The Hawks will meet the Pistons and Spurs after this game.
Indiana PacersÂ
Meanwhile, the Indiana Pacers have been on a tear as they’ve won 10 of their last 12 games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight victory after blowing past the Pistons in a 133-119 home win on Wednesday. Pascal Siakam led the team with 37 points, six rebounds, and four assists on 15 of 21 shooting, Tyrese Haliburton added 30 points with seven rebounds and eight assists while Myles Turner chipped in with 24 points. As a team, the Pacers shot a healthy 56 percent from the field and 19 of 38 from the 3-point line as they stormed out of the gates with 74 points in the first half to take the early lead, before they finished with a flurry to come away with the blowout win at home. The Pacers will face the Jazz following this one.

Atlanta Hawks vs Indiana Pacers Prediction
The Hawks are still missing Clint Capela, Jalen Johnson, and Bogdan Bogdanovic, while the Pacers are keeping eye on Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin who are both questionable for this one. The Hawks have shown glimpses of their potential, but they are stuck in a terrible slump at the moment so I don’t like their chances against the Pacers who have quietly been one of the hottest teams in the league over the past month. The Hawks are still capable of pulling off the upset on the road, but the Pacers have been rock solid lately and I think they can keep it going with another win and cover at the reasonable line.
