The 17-6 Atlanta Hawks host Rudy Gay and the Memphis Grizzlies tonight at Philips Arena. Memphis is currently 10-14 on the season, averaging 101.6 PPG but allowing 104.6 to opponents. Atlanta is 10-2 at home and averages 105.8 PPG, while holding their opposition to 97.4.
The key match ups in tonight's game will be Joe Johnson (21 PPG) vs Rudy Gay (21.3 PPG). On the boards, Zach Randolph has been very productive for the Grizzlies, averaging 10 rebounds a game. Al Horford leads Atlanta in this category, averaging 9.3 boards per game.
Atlanta's depth should be too much for Memphis to handle. Jamal Crawford (16.5 PPG) excels in his 6th man role for a Hawks squad that continues to improve.
Opening tip is scheduled for 7:00 on Fox South. You can click on the title of this post to view some Hawks highlights from NBA.com.
