Hawks Host Pacers Looking To Bounce Back
The Atlanta Hawks will host the Indiana Pacers at State Farm Arena on Sunday afternoon.

The Hawks (30-26) remain ticketed for playoff basketball this season since they're four games over the .500 threshold and have looked competitive since their managerial change, but they're coming off a loss since they were defeated by the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday. Bogdan Bogdanovic registered 28 points to lead the Hawks during that 120-109 loss, and he also added seven assists with six rebounds, while Trae Young had 15 points with nine assists. Clint Capela had another double-double since he finished with 16 points and 16 rebounds, while Salomon Hill delivered 18 points and five boards. Kevin Huerter had 16 points. Atlanta has gone 14-11 playing at home this season and while their recent loss was a disappointing one, it's worth noting they've gone 3-2 in their last five games and 7-3 over their last 10 contests.

The Pacers (26-29) are coming off a 119-111 road loss against the Utah Jazz on Friday, and this means Indiana has now gone 2-3 in their last five games while dropping two of their last three contests. Domantas Sabonis had an impressive performance against the Jazz, as he finished with 22 points, 15 rebounds, seven assists, a steal and a block. Caris LeVert registered 24 points and seven rebounds, while Malcolm Brogdon delivered 16 points, six rebounds and four assists. Goga Bitadze once again contributed off the bench and finished with 13 points and four rebounds. Jeremy Lamb had 12 points and five boards. The Pacers have not performed as expected this season after making the playoffs comfortably in 2019-20, but they should feel confident about their chances of getting back to the right path since they've gone 17-13 when playing away from home.
