Game Preview
On Friday evening, the Atlanta Hawks and Toronto Raptors will play during an NBA regular-season matchup.
The Toronto Raptors are now 6th within the Atlantic Division and are playing in the most difficult regional division of the NBA this season. Prior to their victory last night, they had also been on a four-game winless skid. The Raptors are currently 7-6 at home and will look to build on this success by defeating the Hawks twice in a row. The Raptors’ most recent four-game losing run included a number of tight losses, but their victory over the Hawks in the previous game marked a significant comeback. Pascal Siakam spearheaded their unrelenting scoring assault, with all five of their starters scoring more than 15 points. Recently, Scottie Barnes is additionally playing exceptionally well; in the victory last night, he pulled down 10 boards. The Raptors and Hawks both play small-ball, although the Raptors’ wing men are longer and more physically intimidating on defense. They could do well in this game again if they can stop the Hawks from scoring if they are able to employ their length to do so.
The Atlanta Hawks trail the leading Orlando Magic by 7 games at this point in the Southeast Division. They lost against the Raptors yesterday evening, which stretched their current five-game winless run. The Atlanta Hawks, who had only 7 turnovers during the game, really played a respectable performance last night, scoring over 120 points. Nevertheless, it was unable to halt Pascal Siakam’s 33-point performance and Toronto’s prolific shooting from beyond the arc. They’ll get another go at this Raptors club tonight, but this time they’ll need to concentrate more on defense and make sure that teams can’t surpass them during these high-scoring contests. Despite having one of the league’s best offenses, the Hawks have been dropping matches as a result of their defense’s inability to get stops on the opposite end of the court. They struggle particularly against long sides similar to the Raptors, so this time, they will be attempting to move the basketball more.
