A six-game winning streak helped the Atlanta Hawks become the first team in the Eastern Conference to reach the 20-win mark this season. The team’s defense has been a big part of the team’s recent run, and that unit will be tested on Monday night when the Hawks visit the Indiana Pacers at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

Atlanta begins a three-game road trip in Indiana on Monday, and will be looking to beat the Pacers for the fifth consecutive time in the regular season, which would also give the Hawks their seventh win in a row on their current streak.
Atlanta Hawks:
The Hawks are averaging 111.5 points on 51.2 percent shooting from the floor in winning six in a row. In losing its three games prior to that stretch, the team shot 40.5 percent from the floor and averaged only 86.7 points per game.

The Hawks trailed the New York Knicks by 15 points only seven minutes into Saturday’s contest in Atlanta, and trailed by 14 in the latter part of the second quarter before battling back for a 117-98 victory.
They limited the Knicks to 35 combined points in the third and fourth quarters.
Indiana Pacers:
For the Pacers to put an end to the Hawks’ streak, they’ll need better player from leading scorer Paul George.
George is averaging 24.8 points per game on the season, but has put up just 12.3 points per game over his last three contests, shooting 26.5 percent from the field.

The Hawks have been on fire of late, but it will be interesting to see how their act travels, particularly in a tough place to play like Indiana.
The Pacers have made their home court one of the more intimidating venues in basketball this season, and that shouldn’t change Monday night.
