The Atlanta Hawks will be back in action Saturday night, as they return home to face the Toronto Raptors after a tough loss Thursday in Chicago. The Hawks need a win rather badly in this spot, as they still sit as the No. 10 seed in the Eastern Conference entering play. Toronto comes in as the No. 7 seed, 4.5 games ahead of Atlanta in the standings.
The Hawks are in need of wins as they look to hold down a playoff spot, especially vs. a team ahead of the in the East. Atlanta will continue to try to pull their defense up, as it continues to be their Achilles heel this season.
