What to Know

The Atlanta Hawks are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 118.41 points per game in their game on Saturday. They might have tired legs after a contest night as they head on the road against the Chicago Bulls at 8 p.m. ET at United Center. Atlanta staggers in eager to bring about an end to their nine-game losing streak.

The night started off rough for the Hawks on Friday, and it ended that way, too. Although neither team could take care of the ball -- they combined for 36 turnovers -- the Milwaukee Bucks prevailed over the Hawks 112-86. A silver lining for Atlanta was the play of SG Allen Crabbe, who had 20 points.

Meanwhile, Chicago came up short against the Orlando Magic on Monday, falling 103-95. Chicago's defeat came about despite a quality game from SG Tomas Satoransky, who had 20 points along with six rebounds.

Atlanta took a serious blow against Chicago the last time the two teams met in December, falling 136-102. Can the Hawks avenge their loss, or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll soon find out.
