Atlanta

The Suns have almost finished their home games, and Atlanta just finished a long away series. Quin Snyder's team won only two out of four matches, but the level of the opponents is important to consider. The Hawks beat Toronto (136:107) and Utah (124:121), but lost to Los Angeles Lakers (102:119), Los Angeles Clippers (105:131), Denver (120:139) and Phoenix (115:123).

This means that Atlanta is now ninth in the Eastern Conference, 1.5 wins behind the top six teams. They were in the playoff zone recently, but this has changed. The Hawks have the third-worst defence this season, conceding 119.8 points per game.

Phoenix

The Suns need to win games because their position in the tournament is not good. The team from Phoenix has a winning streak ahead of their trip to Atlanta, having beaten Atlanta (123:115), Utah (114:106), and Charlotte (120:113) at home. The Suns have started to improve their position in the tournament, even though they got Jimmy Butler, who they wanted to trade from Miami. The team now has an even 50% win rate, with 19 wins and 19 losses. They are currently tied with San Antonio for the top spot in the Western Conference.
