Toronto at Atlanta

There was a time earlier in the season that outside the big two in the NBA east, just one other team was over .500 and it was the Atlanta Hawks. Things have changed as Toronto has risen to elite status by virtue of their 28-14 record over their last 42 games. Atlanta has gone in the opposite direction going 5-14 over their last 19 games to fall five games below .500. Yes, the Hawks have won four straight, but all four wins came at the expense of teams with a losing record. More telling is the fact that Atlanta is 0-13 in their last 13 games vs. a winning team, and right now Toronto is not a marginal winning team - they are a team that's playing as well as anyone in the league. Make the play on Toronto.
