Atlanta Hawks vs. Toronto Raptors Preview
Preview
The Atlanta Hawks are just hours removed from a buzzer-beating victory over the Indiana Pacers. There will not be much time to celebrate the much-needed win as Atlanta takes on the Toronto Raptors north of the border tonight.
Atlanta and Toronto have had mirror-image seasons so far. Trae Young and Fred VanVleet struggled out of the gate but have since snapped out of their slumps. Neither team can shoot from outside. And both squads are better on paper than their records indicate.
One area where the two Eastern Conference foes diverge is play style. Atlanta plays at one of the fastest tempos in the league, while Toronto moves more methodically on offense.
Earlier this season, Toronto drubbed Atlanta on Halloween night before Atlanta eeked out an overtime win in November. With Clint Capela sidelined with a calf strain, Raptors forward Pascal Siakam should be able to eat against Atlanta as he often does.
Injury Report
Toronto's injury report lists Otto Porter (foot) as out.
Atlanta has not released an injury report yet. However, Clint Capela (calf) will likely miss another game tonight.
