The Brooklyn Nets are playing their best ball of the season right now, and that includes 50.4 percent shooting in their last 5 games. The Atlanta Hawks continue to be one of the more disappointing teams in the league, and it feels like they’ve taken some steps back over the last week. I just don’t get this warm and fuzzy feeling from the Haws. It’s Nets or pass for me in this matchup.
