Atlanta Hawks vs Brooklyn Nets preview

The Hawks are going through a tough stretch which has seen them win just four of their past 10 games. They are also tied with the Chicago Bulls with similar records but are just ahead in terms of head-to-head record. Thus, it is important for Atlanta to get a win and not drop into the ninth and 10th spots in the play-in tournament.

Atlanta is coming off of a 119-112 loss to the Orlando Magic on Tuesday. Onyeka Okongwu (30 points and 14 rebounds) and Trae Young (28 points and 10 assists) had double-doubles.

The Nets are out of playoff contention and will be without several of their starters for the game. Cameron Johnson (back), D’Angelo Russell (ankle), Cam Thomas (left hamstring), Day’Ron Sharpe (knee) and Noal Clowney (ankle) are out.

Brooklyn is coming off of a 119-114 win against the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday. Trendon Watford had 22 points, while Drew Timme came off the bench for 16 points and nine rebounds. Nic Claxton added 13 points.
