Atlanta Hawks
The Hawks got off to a red hot start to the season winning 7 of their last 8 games. While they have won 2 in a row they are only 5-8 in their last 13 games.
Atlanta is a balanced team that ranks 14th in the league in scoring and 12th in opponents’ points allowed.
In their last 3 wins the Hawks’ defense has stepped up holding opponents to under 40% shooting.
Hawks leading scorer Paul Millsap is coming off a solid game where he went for 20 points, 11 boards, 5 assists and 3 steals and in his last 5 games facing the Thunder he has averaged 22.6 ppg.

Atlanta has 6 players averaging in double figures.
Oklahoma City Thunder
The Thunder were scorching in their last game when they scored 125 points on a Memphis team that has a good defense. They hit 13 of their 26 3-pointers, Kevin Durant went for 32 points, and while Russell Westbrook only had 13 points he only took 7 shots and he dished out 16 assists.
Durant and Westbrook are combining to average over 54 ppg. These 2 will get their points, but what is key for the Hawks tonight is they cannot allow these guys to shoot a high FG%. It is also important that Atlanta plays solid transition defense facing a Thunder team that likes to run and get out on the break.
