The Raptors came into the match with some extra motivation after the defeat they were dealt the last time these two teams faced off. We'll see if they're able to flip the script or if it'll just be more of the same.

Atlanta enters this game ranked 19th in defensive rating and 27th in opponent-effective field goal percentage. But the Hawks' biggest problem is on the perimeter where they allow the fourth most 3-point attempts while having the second-worst opponent 3-point shooting percentage.

A win for the Hawks would push their record over .500, and after one quarter of play they've put themselves in a good position to make it happen. They have jumped out to a quick 27-22 lead against the Raptors.
