Atlanta Hawks Form

Atlanta claimed a place in the Play-In Tournament by winning four of their final five games to finish 40-42.

The Hawks endured a rough start to April as they lost three consecutive games, falling 127-113 to Portland, 120-118 to Dallas and 121-105 to New York.

They avoided a fourth straight loss by beating Utah 147-134, only to immediately return to losing ways as they were beaten 119-112 in Orlando.

Atlanta have not lost since though, sparking a three-game win streak with a 133-109 win in Brooklyn.

The Hawks then closed out the regular season by beating Philadelphia 124-110 on the road and Orlando 117-105 at home.

Orlando Magic Form

Orlando go into this game on the back of a defeat to Atlanta, but having won nine of their last 12 games of the regular season to finish 41-41.

The Magic began this good run with a three-game win streak, and then sandwiched a 121-91 blowout of Sacramento with defeats to Dallas, 101-92, and the LA Clippers, 96-87.

Their response to the Clippers loss was a strong one, as they kicked off a five-game winning run with a 116-105 victory in San Antonio.

Orlando then beat Washington 109-96 on the road, before returning home to down Atlanta, 119-112, and Boston, 96-76.

The Magic made it five-in-a-row with a 129-115 success in Indiana, but saw their run end in their regular season finale as they fell 117-105 in Atlanta.

Verdict

Orlando may have lost to Atlanta over the weekend, but unlike that game this one matters.

The Magic have been on a roll since late March and we expect them to keep it going in the Play-In.
