No. 3: Toronto Raptors vs Atlanta Hawks, March 11

The Raptors have four games left in the first half of the season. After the Boston Celtics matchup on March 4, the Raptors and the rest of the league will take a week off. Their first game back will be on March 11 and they will be facing the Atlanta Hawks in Tampa.

This will be the second time that the Raptors and the Hawks are facing each other. The first time was on Feb. 6. The Hawks beat the Raptors 132-121. Trae Young was the best player in the game, as he finished the game with 28 points, two rebounds, and 13 assists per game.

Will the Raptors get revenge against the Hawks?

Despite losing the game, Toronto was only down by six with 4:24 remaining. They had a chance to win the game, but some poor defense helped their chance ebb away. The Raptors should be looking to redeem themselves and win the game on the 11th, as it could help put some distance between the two teams in the East.

Both teams are looking to be in the playoffs and a win in this game could get them closer to a playoff spot. Atlanta has plenty of weapons on offense, and time will tell if they have a breakout game against Nick Nurse.
