The Atlanta Hawks will host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday evening, looking badly for a win after dropping five of their last seven. Cleveland is 7-3 in their last ten games, and sits as the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference heading into play, just two games behind the Miami Heat for the No. 1 seed.
The Hawks have had an up and down season and still find themselves fighting for a play-in spot as we near the All-Star break, tied for the No. 10 seed entering play on Tuesday. Atlanta has lost four of their last five games, with the lone win being over the extremely short-handed Indiana Pacers the night of the trade deadline, when they had several guys ineligible to play or traded.
