What to Know

The Atlanta Hawks will stay at home for another game and welcome the Orlando Magic at 7:30 p.m. ET on January 17th at State Farm Arena. Both teams come into the match bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

The Hawks and the Spurs couldn't quite live up to the 246-over/under that the experts had forecasted. Atlanta walked away with a 109-99 win over San Antonio on Monday. The squad ran away with 69 points in the first half and mostly just sat on those to pick up the win.

It was another big night for Trae Young, who shot 6-for-11 from long range and dropped a double-double on 36 points and 13 assists.

Meanwhile, the Magic finally caught a break after three consecutive losses. They welcomed the New Year with a 98-94 victory over New York.

Atlanta's win bumped their record up to 16-23. As for Orlando, their win bumped their record up to 22-18.

Wednesday's game is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: The Hawks haven't given up the ball easily this season, having only averaged 13.1 turnovers per game. However, it's not like the Magic struggle in that department as they've been averaging only 14 turnovers per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.

Not only did both teams in this Wednesday's match win their last matches, they also took care of their bettors and covered the spread. Looking ahead, the Hawks are the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 3.5 points. This contest will be Orlando's 11th straight as the underdogs (so far over this stretch they are 6-4 against the spread).
