Trail Blazers vs. Hawks preview

The Blazers are taking on the Hawks in their third game of their road trip. It's the final matchup against a team in the Eastern Conference before the Hawks face off against the Memphis Grizzlies and Houston Rockets.

It's the first time the teams have played since making a trade last month that sent Vit Krejci to the Blazers. In the last meeting between the two teams, Krecji started for the Hawks and played 21 minutes, scoring eight points on 3 of 5 shooting.

The Blazers pulled out a 117-101 victory, but things are a little bit different between the Blazers and the Hawks at the moment. Shaedon Sharpe, who led the Blazers in scoring in the last meeting with 24 points, is out with a calf and leg injury, which means Portland will need to rely on someone else to do the bulk of the scoring.

The Blazers can clinch the season series sweep with a win, but it won't be easy after playing in a tough game against the Charlotte Hornets yesterday. A win would give the Blazers a massive boost going into the second half of their road trip.
