This is the last game of the 7 game roadtrip. Hawks are 3-3. Surprise, surprise.

Next game is vs. Toronto at home which kicks off a 7 game home stretch. This is also the 1st game after the Trade Deadline at 3:00PM, so this might be someone(s) last Hawks hurrah!

Who stays, who goes??? Who you got?




Is this a precursor to a potential trade. We'll see if any players are inactive vs. Wiz.

My gut feeling says no trade but if I had to list probabilities
1) Lin
2) Prince if we get a good offer

Dedmon stays!

Probably someone not in the rotation, whom we barely see.

Plumlee??

I think Lin has already been traded lol...and Baze is also gone. To the Blazers and Rockets respectively.

Dedmon stays. We shall see!

Probably Lin. His contract + his on court value is juicy for a lot of teams. I doubt we see him much in Washington.

Tyler Dorsey

Guard and PF recalled. Does this give us a clue?

I know we have 24.5 hours till this thing officially starts, but can we get this game going already? I want to see some action

I doubt any team is going to give up a first round pick and decent player for Prince. I'm just going by what was reported that we wanted for him.

Washington hosts Atlanta looking to move up in standings



Will the Hawks have any legs left?

The Wizards are catching the Hawks at an ideal time. They’re on the final game of their seven-game road trip before returning home right as all the Super Bowl traffic clears out of Atlanta.

The Hawks have held their own on the trip, with wins over the Bulls, Clippers, and Suns, but here they’ll be fighting off the Wizards and the jet lag from flying back across the country after their win in Phoenix on Saturday night.

This is one of those games where Washington needs to demoralize Atlanta early and convince them to pack it in before things get tense later in the game. Washington can’t afford to let more winnable games slip through their fingers, especially after last week’s loss to the Cavaliers.

Wizards SB Nation

The Hawks will conclude a seven-game road trip on Monday, as the team was on the road with the Super Bowl in Atlanta this season. So far, the Hawks have split their road trip 3-3, with wins at the Bulls, Clippers, and Suns. Even though Atlanta is toward the bottom of the East, the Hawks also had impressive wins against the Sixers and Thunder in January. They will return home for a five-game homestand before the All-Star break.

Coupled with Wednesday’s win over the Pacers and Saturday’s loss to the Bucks, the Wizards have a great opportunity to end their homestand on a winning note. The Hawks come into Monday’s game 17-35, including a 9-22 road record. The Wizards have only lost to two (current) sub-.500 teams at home all season, the Heat opening night and the Bulls on December 28. Washington is 16-10 at home this season and has won 13 of its last 18 games at Capital One Arena.

A Patrick Ewing sighting.

I've been too busy Woj-gazing to do a pregame for this one.

Instead, in the spirit of this week, it is, once again, about that time...

I think I might have accidentally passed the MCAT just from reading this tweet.



In addition to the above remaining out, rookie Troy Brown (sprained ankle) remains doubtful.
