The Atlanta Hawks have figured it out since returning home from their disasterous six-game losing streak. They have got their season back on track, winning five straight at home which has allowed them figure out the best way to use their depth.

This was on full display in their second road-win of the season, their most recent outing against the San Antonio Spurs where they had eight players score ten or more points. This led to an easy victory on the road, which is going to be key to their playoff seeding at the end of the season.

Now the Hawks play the second gameof their two-game road swing when they take on the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies have struggled with consistency all season with their longest winning and losing streaks being two games. They have won two games in a row three times so far this season.

The Atlanta Hawks are looking for their seventh win in a row

The Hawks have been riding on the backs of their superstar point guard Trae Young. They have also been well served by their big men John Collins and Clint Capela, especially over their home stand. Prior to the win streak Collins had been money on the road for the most part.

While the Grizzlies have plenty of offensive firepower, they had a shocking game last Saturday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Grizzlies lost the game by 43 points which is their biggest losing margin for a long time.

This should give the Hawks a huge boost going into the upcoming game as their offense is humming at the moment thanks to the play of Young. He is getting the ball to his teammates in the right position and they are knocking down shots.

The Grizzlies may be without their best perimiter defender De’Anthony Melton who is questionable for the Hawks game thanks to a groin issue. This may make life even easier for the Hawks as they look to make it seven on the trot.
