Wednesday, February 16th the Atlanta Hawks playing the Orlando Magic for the fourth and final time this season. Atlanta won the initial two meeting on November 15th (129-111) and December 15 (111-99) while Orlando won December 22nd (104-98).
The Hawks are playing a back-to-back set having beat Cleveland 124-116 on Tuesday while the Magic last played on Monday losing 111-121 to the Nuggets.
Last season, the squads played three times with the Hawks sweeping the regular-season series. The Hawks hold the all-time record having bested the Magic in 65 of their 126 matches.
Atlanta Hawks
While the Hawks have been experiencing a teeter-totter season they got a huge shot in the arm on Tuesday beating the young Cavaliers who have seemingly taken the spot everyone expected the Hawks would be in this year after their Conference Finals run last season.
Instead, Atlanta suffered potentially from something many young teams tend to go through when they initially have success which is to rest on their laurels.
Even Young’s comments about the team being better at the trade deadline than they were last season highlighted that fact since Atlanta was brutal until Nate McMillan took over following the firing of Lloyd Pierce last year.
They’ve shown signs of turning the corner but aren’t out of the woods yet so, however, the win versus the Cavs felt personal – almost like “hey you stole our spotlight.” Moving forward the Hawks need to bring that type of effort on a nightly basis especially if they intend to rise up the ladder.
They sit in the 10th spot a half-game up on the Wizards a game back of Charlotte for ninth and three games behind the ailing Nets for eighth.
John Collins (foot) is out until at least after the All-Star Break.
Orlando Magic
Although the Magic won’t have any All-Stars in the big game they will have franchise representation in Cleveland. A trio of their young stars is set to participate with rookies Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs playing in the Clorox Rising Stars along with Cole Anthony.
Wagner is part of team Barry (Rick) while Suggs and Anthony are on Team Worthy (James). Anthony is also participating on Saturday night as one of the four players competing in the AT&T Slam Dunk event. His competition is rookie Jalen Green of the Rockets, Obi Toppin of the Knicks and Juan Toscano-Anderson of the Warriors.
Mo Wagner (ribs) was downgraded to out versus the Hawks. Jonathan Isaac (knee), Markelle Fultz (knee), RJ Hampton (knee), and Bol Bol (foot) are all out indefinitely.

Atlanta Hawks vs. Orlando Magic NBA Analysis:
This shouldn’t be a difficult match for the Hawks to nab but they’ll need to maintain that focus and effort which has alluded them at times this year. While the Magic aren’t comprised of the talent or depth of Atlanta they still can’t afford to take them for granted.
