An Eastern conference showdown sees the Hawks traveling to Toronto to take on the Raptors.
It’s a story of two teams that are headed in two separate directions. The Raptors are the hottest team in the NBA, well the Hawks have been playing some of the worst.
The Hawks really need to get the season back on track quickly, or their playoff hopes might be out the window.

The Hawks come into this game losing eight of their last ten. The only wins came against the Bucks and the Heat.
In the first meeting between the two teams the Hawks got blown out. They lost 128-84.
After starting the season so strong, Dwight Howard has struggled. His stats are still good averaging 13.8 points and over 12 rebounds a game but he hasn’t been as dominant as before. The Hawks really seem to be missing Al Horford and Jeff Teague.

The Hawks average 101.6 points game well giving up 103.4. Opposing teams are shooting high field goal percentages against them, and it has really hurt them.
The Hawks have struggled on the road this season, only going 5-8 away from Atlanta.
Toronto Raptors
The Raptors come into this game as hot as any team in the NBA. In the last 10 games they are 9-1. They really look like a team that could stop LeBron James and the Cavs from reaching the NBA finals.
The Raptors have one of the best back courts in the NBA. DeMar DeRozen and Kyle Lowry, both should make the All Star Game and lead the Raptors team.
The two combine for 49.2 points, 11.5 assists and 8.1 rebounds.
The Raptors just haven’t been winning lately, they have been dominate. They score up in the 120’s most night and have been winning most games by over 10 points.
On the season the Raptors are averaging 111.9 points and only give up 103 points a game.
