Atlanta will lean on its star point guard, Trae Young, and last year's top draft pick, Zacharie Risacher, to help snap the Hawks' seven-game skid. Risacher scored 30 points on 11-for-14 shooting against Cleveland on Thursday. Young is averaging 22.5 points and 11.4 assists and will be out to make a point after being left off the Eastern Conference All-Star reserve list. Indiana had to shoot 57 percent while hitting 19 of 38 3-pointers to defeat Detroit on Wednesday, and the Pacers aren't expected to shoot that well in consecutive games. Indiana could also be looking ahead to a four-game Western swing next, so take the points with the Hawks.
