Through 3 Quarters

The Toronto Raptors are giving their home crowd exactly what it was hoping to see. After three quarters it's looking more and more like their high-powered offense is just too much for the Atlanta Hawks as Toronto lead 96-86.

The Raptors have been riding high on the performance of power forward Pascal Siakam, who has 29 points and four assists in addition to eight boards. A double-double would be Siakam's third in a row.

Atlanta has been led by point guard Trae Young, who so far has dropped a double-double on 18 points and ten assists along with five rebounds.

Atlanta has lost 87% of the time when they were down heading into the fourth quarter this season, so this one seems just about wrapped up

What to Know

The Atlanta Hawks have enjoyed the comforts of home their last five games, but now they must head out on the road. They and the Toronto Raptors will face off at 7:30 p.m. ET Feb. 4 at Scotiabank Arena without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. These two teams have set a high bar for this game after stand-out offensive performances in their previous games.

Atlanta beat the Phoenix Suns 124-115 on Thursday. The Hawks' point guard Trae Young did his thing and shot 6-for-11 from beyond the arc and finished with 43 points and five assists.

Meanwhile, the Chicago Bulls typically have all the answers at home, but on Thursday Toronto proved too difficult a challenge. The Raptors won 127-120 over Chicago in overtime. It was another big night for Toronto's power forward Pascal Siakam, who posted a double-double on 25 points and 13 rebounds along with seven dimes.

Atlanta is expected to lose this next one by 3. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the squad is 3-10 ATS when expected to lose.

The wins brought the Hawks up to 25-26 and Toronto to 27-23. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Atlanta comes into the game boasting the fourth fewest steals given up per game in the league at 7.3. But the Raptors rank third in the league when it comes to steals per game, with 9.26 on average. Ball control might end up being a major factor in this one.
