The Pacers are fresh off putting down the Bad Boy Pistons* and looking to keep the momentum going tonight against the ailing Atlanta Hawks.
The Hawks are on a 7 game losing streak! Anything but a win tonight will feel like the Blue & Gold left something on the table.
Somehow, even with a lead guard as offensively talented as Trae Young, the Hawks are near the bottom of the league in offensive efficiency. Their middle of the pack defense isn't enough to make up for that dearth of scoring, though the Pacers do need to be careful with the ball. The Hawks are one of the best teams in the league at generating turnovers.
Injuries
The Pacers have a clean injury report again after missing Andrew Nembhard and Bennedict Mathurin last game. Though they both will play, Carlisle mentioned that he doesn't believe Mathurin is 100% recovered from his illness.
