The Atlanta Hawks welcome the Denver Nuggets to the State Farm Arena on Sunday for this interconference clash. The Hawks come into this contest sitting fifth in the East standings with a 13-11 record, while the Nuggets are sitting ninth in the West at 11-10. Let’s get started on the match prediction!

Atlanta has turned things around after a slow start to the season. The Hawks are now the co-owners of the longest active winning streak in the NBA and will be seeking their seventh straight victory on Sunday.

They secured a thrilling 134-132 overtime win over the LA Lakers on Friday thanks to a Trae Young three-pointer with 7.4 seconds remaining. They’ve taken some impressive scalps during this winning run, including the Cavaliers (twice), Bucks and now the Lakers.

The Nuggets could use a winning streak of their own as they come into Sunday’s matchup just one game above .500. The 2023 champions have found it tough to put together a consistent run of results in the past three weeks as they’ve dropped six of their last 10.

In their last appearance, Denver suffered a shock 122-113 road loss to the lowly Wizards despite a 56-point performance by Jokic. It was the second loss in a row for the Nuggets who will look to avoid going winless as they close out a three-game road trip.
