The Hawks hosted Toronto at the home arena after four consecutive defeats, with Atlanta missing 73 points from Luka Doncic and losing it to Dallas (143:148) in one of the matches of this stretch. The team managed to interrupt the series of defeats - 126:125. Trae Young scored 30 points and 12 assists as the main hero of this victory.

Overall, Atlanta has only 19 wins and 27 defeats. Currently, the Hawks claim only the last place in the play-in zone, which they share with no less problematic Brooklyn.

The team traveled to Houston, winning five games out of eight and moving noticeably closer to the top-6 of the Western Conference. Against the Rockets, however, the Lakers failed to show their best qualities - 119:135. The Lakers were unsuccessful on defense, allowing the opponent to make as many as 36 assists. At the same time, the Californians were not bad on offense - Anthony Davis, LeBron James, and D'Angelo Russell scored 23 points each.

With a 24-24 record, the Lakers are ninth in the West. The gap from the top-6, however, is small - 3.5 wins. The team from Los Angeles can count on going directly to the playoffs.

The Lakers have a back-to-back and quite a few game problems, but Atlanta has it much worse. Quin Snyder's team can't establish the game in any way in defense and has a strongly negative balance of wins. Even against the background of fatigue, the Lakers can stop the Hawks. Moreover, according to the statistics of head-to-head meetings in recent years, the Lakers have a noticeable advantage. Let's bet on the visitors.
