Friday, December 28 finds the Atlanta Hawks meeting up vs.Minnesota Timberwolves as they meet for the first time in the 2018-19 regular season. Atlanta last played on Wednesday in a highly competitive game they lost to the Indiana Pacers. The Timberwolves took down the Bulls in Chicago in a rout, also on Wednesday.
Last season, the teams split the season series. The Hawks hold the all-time record having bested the Timberwolves in 33 of their 55 matches.
Atlanta Hawks
Despite their 9-24 record, the Hawks have played much better lately. In their last 10 games the Hawks have won four games, three of which came consecutively.
Much of this improvement may be tied to the presence of John Collins who is averaging a double-double of 18.6 points and 10.0 rebounds on the season.
Collins missed the first 15 games of the Hawks campaign. After easing back into the rotation, he’s collected double-doubles in 10 of his last 13 games.
