Who's Playing

Atlanta @ Toronto

Current Records: Atlanta 20-22; Toronto 19-23

What to Know

This Saturday, the Atlanta Hawks are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 116.21 points per contest. They might have tired legs after a game yesterday as they head on the road against the Toronto Raptors at 7:30 p.m. ET Jan. 14 at Scotiabank Arena. If the matchup is anything like the Hawks' 124-122 victory from their previous meeting in November of last year, the scorekeeper will be kept real busy.

On Friday, Atlanta narrowly escaped with a win as the squad sidled past the Indiana Pacers 113-111. Atlanta can attribute much of their success to center Onyeka Okongwu, who posted a double-double on 20 rebounds and 18 points along with four blocks.

Meanwhile, Toronto was able to grind out a solid victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Thursday, winning 124-114. It was another big night for Toronto's power forward Pascal Siakam, who had 35 points in addition to seven boards.

Atlanta is expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten Charlotte Oct. 23 easily too and instead slipped up with a 126-109. In other words, don't count the Raptors out just yet.
