NBA is back, and the Atlanta Hawks will get their 2024-25 season underway on Thursday when they take on the Brooklyn Nets at State Farm Arena. The Hawks ended last season 10th in the Eastern Conference, while the Nets finished 11th. Let’s get into the match prediction.

The Atlanta Hawks will be aiming to right their wrongs from last season, when they managed a record of 36-46 and missed out on the playoffs. 

Much of the Hawks' struggles last term arose from the absence of Trae Young, who missed 28 games. However, they have secured the services of the number one draft pick Zaccharie Risacher, which has given the franchise major optimism for this campaign. 

Last season, Atlanta posted 21-20 at home but they were been beaten by the Nets in each of their last three encounters.

Meanwhile, the Nets are also coming off a very poor season where they finished with a disappointing record of 32-50, placing them 11th in the East.

Based on their offseason moves and loading up on draft picks, this term looks likely to be all about rebuilding the franchise with Jordi Fernandez now at the helm.

Brooklyn won just 12 games on the road last season and their first few matches this term will likely give us a better indication of what to expect from the team.
