An NBA Eastern Conference clash is set to tip off on Wednesday with the red-hot Brooklyn Nets taking on the Atlanta Hawks at the State Farm Arena in downtown Atlanta. The Nets have really turned their season around after a disappointing start to the season and will now have their aim firmly set on the top seed in the East. An impressive 125-117 away win against a very good Cavs team on Monday has catapulted Brooklyn up to third in the conference with 22 wins and 12 losses. The win over Cleveland also represents the ninth in a row for the Nets which is the longest active streak in the league currently. Brooklyn trails the top-seeded Celtics by just 2.5 games with the two powerhouses scheduled to meet at the Barclays Arena in just two weeks time. 

Looking to put an end to the Nets’ impressive winning streak is the Atlanta Hawks who sit ninth in the East with a record of 17 wins and 17 losses. Atlanta is coming off a 129-114 loss to the Pacers on Tuesday and will be at a rest disadvantage here as they play the second game of a back-to-back. The Hawks have struggled for consistency this season as they have only managed to string together two consecutive wins on two occasions across the past 25 games. They’ll be hoping that their improved play on home court will be enough to see them over the line against the league’s hottest team. Atlanta is 11-6 at home compared to just 6-12 as the away team. However, Brooklyn have proven to be a consistent team regardless of the venue, winning 10 of their 17 road games and 12 of their 17 home games.
