Portland Trail blazers vs Atlanta Hawks

The Atlanta Hawks (36-38) are set to welcome the Portland Trail Blazers (32-43) to State Farm Arena for a cross-conference NBA showdown on Tuesday. The Hawks currently sit seventh in the Eastern Conference standings, while the Blazers are 12th in the Western Conference. Let’s dive into the match prediction.

Atlanta has been putting on strong performances in the NBA. On Sunday, they secured a dominant 145-124 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, improving their record to 36-38 in the East.

Before that win, the Hawks endured back-to-back defeats against the Rockets and the Heat. However, they have managed to win four of their last six games.

State Farm Arena has been a fortress for Quin Snyder’s squad, as they have won two straight home games. In fact, their recent home form has been impressive, with six wins in their last seven matchups at this venue.

On the other hand, the Portland Trail Blazers' slim hopes of reaching the play-in tournament suffered a major blow following a 110-93 road loss to the New York Knicks. Given their depleted lineup, that result was hardly surprising.

Heading into this contest, the Blazers are on a four-game losing streak, and in one of those matchups, they failed to hit the 100-point mark.

Their struggles on the road have also been evident, with five consecutive away losses. With that in mind, Portland faces an uphill battle in this matchup.

The Portland Trail Blazers have lost their last five away games, most recently by a score of 110-93. This happened against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Shaedon Sharpe scored 23 points, Toumani Camara scored 16, and Deni Avdija scored 33.

The Atlanta Hawks have won two straight games at home. They defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 145-124 on the road at Fiserv Forum in their most recent game. Trae Young scored 19 points and dished out 19 assists, while Zaccharie Risacher scored 36 points and Dyson Daniels scored 22.

The last time these clubs faced each other, the Blazers prevailed. At the Moda Center, the team defeated the Hawks 114-110. In the last ten meetings between these clubs, each franchise has won five of them.
