On May 14, as part of the regular season, the NBA will host a game between the Atlanta Hawks and the Orlando Magic. We offer you a forecast for this match.
Atlanta Hawks»
It is unlikely that at the beginning of the season, Atlanta fans dreamed that their team would be fourth in two games before the end of the regular season. It is almost certain that the Hawks will face New York in the first round of the playoffs, and it is extremely difficult to determine the winner in this pair. Now "Atlanta" tries to play as much as possible offensively, but it is not a fact that this strategy will remain in the playoffs.
"Orlando Magic»
Orlando has been clear for a long time. The team is in the penultimate place in the Eastern Conference, it has a huge infirmary, and the only hope for Magic fans is connected with the offseason, when Orlando can be rebuilt. In the meantime, the Floridians will simply finish the season "on crutches".
