The Atlanta Hawks will continue their road trip when they take on the Brooklyn Nets tonight. While the Nets have officially been eliminated from postseason contention, the Hawks still have the chance to improve their standing, potentially netting the seventh seed with a strong end to the season.
While it is unlikely that this postseason will yield a deep run for the Hawks, they have plenty to be optimistic about. First-overall pick Zaccharie Risacher has quietly come on strong at the end of the season, looking the part of a lottery draft pick as Atlanta's season winds down. Shooting guard Dyson Daniels is having a career season in his first campaign with the Hawks, boosting some confidence in the supporting cast around star guard Trae Young.
Meanwhile, the Nets do not have quite as strong of a young cohort, and they certainly do not have anyone who can match the star power of Young. It has been another lost season for Brooklyn as the organization tries to pull off yet another rebuild, this time led by forward Cameron Johnson and guard D'Angelo Russell, both of whom will miss this contest.

Hawks vs Nets Predictions and Picks
Matt Lowrimore of SportyTrader writes, "This is likely a must-win for the Hawks as they want to maintain the 8th seed or move up to the 7th seed ahead of next week's East Play-In tournament. Despite their losing record, Atlanta is the fifth-highest-scoring team in the NBA, averaging 118 points per game. However, the Hawks rank 27th in the NBA defensively, allowing an average of 119.9 points per game. The Nets are the complete opposite, with an offense that ranks last in the league and a defense that ranks 10th. Still, with what is at stake for the Hawks, expect them to push the pace to make this a high-scoring game. In return, we should expect the Nets to do their fair share of scoring, as the Hawks have not proven they can consistently play good defense. Further, both meetings between the Hawks and Nets went well over the total; therefore, our Brooklyn Nets vs Atlanta Hawks prediction is over 226.5."
This spread is ridiculous, even considering how poor of a roster the Nets field. Brooklyn is a solid defensive team, and the Hawks consistently allow poor teams to put up good offensive numbers. The Nets will not come close to winning, but they should cover.
