Having won two of their last three games, the Indiana Pacers have a bit of momentum going ahead of Saturday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks.
The Hawks lost to the Houston Rockets on Thursday, which put an end to their four-game winning streak. With a 24-26 record, Atlanta currently owns the No. 9 seed in the East.
Saturday's game will mark the third and final matchup between the two teams this season. The Hawks took each of the first two games, including a 132-116 victory on Jan. 26.
