Hawks host Timberwolves in Wednesday night tilt

The Atlanta Hawks (18-25) will host the Minnesota Timberwolves (22-22) on Wednesday. The Hawks are coming off a big win vs. the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday, while Minnesota will be completing a road back-to-back after beating the New York Knicks in a close one on Tuesday night.

Atlanta notoriously snapped their 10-game home losing streak on Monday, in addition to their five-game overall skid. The Hawks have dug themselves quite a hole in regards to the playoff race as they are the No. 12 seed in the Eastern Conference. Atlanta sits four games out of the No. 10 spot and seven games out of the No. 6 seed.

The Hawks will hope their improved defensive effort continues as De’Andre Hunter and Onyeka Okongwu continue to make their presence felt since returning from injury. Atlanta remains top-5 in offense and bottom-5 in defense for the season in terms of points scored vs. points allowed per possession.

T-Wolves have won two straight games.

Hawks have won the previous four meetings.

Tonight is the second of a back to back for Minny. They beat the Knicks last night.

The all Schlenk drafted team.

This will be an eye-opening contest.

Question to ponder: Is there a better front court partner in the NBA for KAT than Onyeka Okongwu?
