Stars Collide at State Farm Arena: Memphis Grizzlies vs. Atlanta Hawks (Preview)

Fam

The race to the 2021-22 NBA postseason is getting tighter with approximately two weeks left in the NBA regular season.

Tonight, the (34-35) Atlanta Hawks will look to get back on the winning side of things as they host Ja Morant and the (48-22) Memphis Grizzlies

The Memphis Grizzlies have been one of the hottest teams in the NBA this season, led by NBA MVP candidate Ja Morant. Morant is averaging nearly 28 points (27.5) per game for the number two seed Grizzlies.

The Hawks come into the game following a tough (116-106) loss on the road in Charlotte on Wednesday night. Currently sitting as the tenth seed in the East, the Hawks need to string together a streak of victories to make sure they earn a spot in the play-in tournament.

Memphis is currently riding a four game winning streak as they come to Atlanta. The Hawks did however defeat the Grizzlies back in November (132-100). Atlanta will look to complete the season sweep tonight.

Before tonight’s game, TUT sports and entertainment insiders Terrell Thomas and Shayla Vaxter broke down the upcoming Memphis Grizzlies Atlanta Hawks matchup.
