The Los Angeles Lakers aren’t a good team at full strength, and now LeBron is out, AD is questionable and Westbrook is going to play but is dealing with a knee injury. The Atlanta Hawks are playing their best ball of the season right now, and that includes winning their last five games by an average of 13.8 points while shooting 50.4 percent from the field. The Lakers are a tough sell right now. Give me the Hawks.
