The Atlanta Hawks seek to keep their NBA winning streak going when they host the LA Clippers next. They arrive for this match sitting 10th in the Eastern Conference while the Clippers are third in the West. The Hawks are in red-hot form and have boosted immensely their chances of a playoff spot. Quin Snyder’s men have won four straight matches which is only the second time this season they have won as many consecutively. They are coming off a 141-134 OT victory over the Warriors. Atlanta will be hoping to close out their five-game homestand with a win before embarking on a two-game road trip. Clint Capela has been ruled out for this match due to an adductor injury. Saddiq Bey and De’Andre Hunter are questionable. The Hawks possess the third-best-ranked offence in the league and are averaging 123.3 points a night when at home.

The LA Clippers are also in scintillating form and will be confident of extending their current winning run. Ty Lue’s men, who have won eight of their last nine fixtures, are on a three-game winning run. They defeated the Clippers 103-95 last time out to earn their 33rd victory of the season. A fourth successive win could see LA enter a three-way tie atop the Western Conference table. They trail joint leaders Oklahoma and Minnesota by one game. The Clippers are slowly getting healthy and only Moussa Diabate is listed on the team’s latest injury report. LA won the last time they were in Atlanta which was a year ago. They are also one of the best-scoring teams in the league and are averaging 118.1 points.
