Brooklyn Nets Preview
The Brooklyn Nets have not had the best of seasons so far. They are only eighth in the East with a 40-37 record and are tied with the Charlotte Hornets and Atlanta Hawks, who have a similar record. With Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant playing on the team, many would have expected them to be higher on the table, but the Nets' season has been full of uncertainties and slowly with things falling into place, the team will be hoping to start firing on all cylinders.
Irving and Durant have both been terrific in the last few games, but their defense is where the Nets would want to get better. They are twenty-first in the league in terms of defensive ratings, which is not a great sight for a team looking to come out of the East.

Going up against the Hawks, Kevin Durant and co. will look to get back to winning ways. They have not been in the best of form lately, but this being a crucial game, they will have to play good basketball and push to get to a win.
Brooklyn Nets Predicted Lineup
G - Kyrie Irving, G - Patty Mills, F - Kevin Durant, F - LaMarcus Aldridge, C - Andre Drummond
Atlanta Hawks Preview
The Atlanta Hawks have been in fiery form in recent games. Riding on Trae Young's brilliance, the team have gone on to clinch the play-in sport with a 40-37 record. They still have five games to play and would be looking to bag a few more wins and climb up the table.
The team was given an injury scare when Trae Young walked to the locker room after suffering a leg injury in the game against the Cavaliers. However, he returned to action and seemed to move fine in the second half. Young is listed as probable for this game but will most likely play if everything goes well ahead of the tip-off.
Shooter's touch https://t.co/eqERppr8zN
He is their leading force and their success depends on his performance. Going into this game, the Hawks need to bag a win if they want to move up the table. They will have to, however, be defensively resolute as the Nets have the likes of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, who can single-handedly take over games.
Atlanta Hawks Predicted Lineup
G - Trae Young, G - Kevin Huerter, F - De'Andre Hunter, F - Timothe Luwawu - Cabarrot, C - Clint Capela
