At 16-9, the Atlanta Hawks have gotten off to a very good start, regardless of the fact they've been Al Horford-less for most of the season. But, 15's absence is starting to cause deficiencies on the glass. Recently, Atlanta has lost 3 straight games and has fallen 7 spots from 10th to 17th in the league in rebounds over the last 10 contests. That ain't good.
In just a few minutes, the Hawks will tip off against a 17-7 Pacers squad that ranks third in the NBA in rebounds (44.6 a game) and 5th in points allowed. Led by the tandem of Danny Granger and Roy Hibbert, Indiana has quickly become a contender in the East.
Atlanta will win...if Ivan Johnson and Zaza Pachulia put forth great efforts in the paint and Marvin Williams re-discovers his 3 point shooting ability.
