With only two games on the NBA slate on Thursday the nightcap features the Atlanta Hawks in Mexico City to take on the Orlando Magic.
Wednesday, 28 teams played except these two clubs who were idle no doubt to accommodate travel. The Hawks last played Monday in a 117-126 loss to the Thunder while the Magic lost 102-117 to the Mavericks.
Season Series
Atlanta holds the all-time record having won 69 of the 131 meetings between the clubs. Last season the Hawks took three of the four matches between the Southeast Division rivals.
Atlanta Hawks
Quin Snyder was expected to make a difference to the winning culture in Atlanta and his presence is having a positive effect overall. Already there is a slight shift defensively as Snyder implements a more energetic defensive scheme.
Offensively they remain robust but perhaps with more intention on spreading the wealth among the core with eight players registering a double-digit scoring average.
Hawks Stats
Through five games, Atlanta ranks sixth offensively (117.8), and 18th defensively (112.8) with a plus +4.9 net differential that ranks eighth overall.8.
Hawks Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Wesley Matthews, SG (OUT indefinitely—knee)
- Kobe Bufkin, PG (OUT indefinitely—thumb)
Orlando Magic
If there is an early surprise arguably the Magic fits that bill although some pundits (raises hand) did expect a leap from Orlando this season. The bigger question is whether they’ll be able to consistently perform.
Offense is still a work in progress but defensively Jamahl Mosley has his youngsters performing among the upper echelon. But, the loss of Wendell Carter Jr. due to a broken hand will test the club’s mettle over the next few weeks.
Magic Stats
Through five games, Orlando ranks 21st offensively (108.9), and third defensively (105.6) with a plus +3.3 net differential that ranks ninth overall.8.
Through seven games, the Magic possesses a positive 5-2 record against the spread this season.
Magic Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Gary Harris, SG (downgraded to OUT—groin)
- Jonathan Isaac, PF (upgraded to probable—hamstring)
- Markelle Fultz, PG (questionable—knee)
- Wendell Carter Jr., C (OUT indefinitely—broken hand)

Free Atlanta Hawks vs. Orlando Magic NBA Prediction:
Overall the Hawks have a better mix of defense and offense versus the Magic who excel defensively but still fall into old habits reverting to iso ball on offense.
That said, Franz Wagner and Paolo Banchero will pose issues for Atlanta and could provide the tipping point for Orlando to surprise by winning this match.
