Hawks try and cure road woes in Charlotte
Basketball Betting Lines
04/06/2010 -
(Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Winning their first Southeast Division title is a longshot,
but the Atlanta Hawks have more important things to worry about in their
preparation for the postseason. They will try to snap a four-game road losing
streak tonight against the playoff-hungry Charlotte Bobcats.
Atlanta recorded its 10th straight home win with Saturday's 91-85 victory over
the Detroit Pistons, as Sixth Man of the Year candidate Jamal Crawford led the
way with 29 points and six assists off the bench. Al Horford added 20 points
and 14 rebounds, while Josh Smith had 13 points, 14 boards and two blocks for
the Hawks, who won despite not having All-Star Joe Johnson in the lineup.
"I understand with Joe being out that everybody would have to step up,"
Crawford said of Johnson, who will miss tonight's game with a sprained right
thumb. "He's our leading scorer, and so much of what we do goes through him. I
just tried to be aggressive at certain points where I would think he'd be in
the game and I'd be out so there wouldn't be a dropoff."
The Hawks are 4 1/2 games behind Orlando for the division lead with six games
to play and a loss tonight would officially hand the Southeast crown to the
Magic. They're a game ahead of Boston for the No. 3 spot in the Eastern
Conference standings. Atlanta is shooting for 50 wins in a season for the
first time since the 1997-98 campaign (50-32), and will also pay a visit to
the Pistons on Wednesday. The Hawks are 17-20 as the guest in 2009-10.
Charlotte is still shooting for the first playoff berth in franchise history
and hopes to bounce back from a tough 96-88 loss to Chicago on Saturday. Boris
Diaw tallied 18 points, seven rebounds and six assists for the Bobcats, who
sit seventh in the East -- just 2 1/2 games behind fifth-seeded Miami.
"We did a lot of good things. But you can't go on the road and get dominated
on the boards like we did," Bobcats head coach Larry Brown said of 56-34
difference in rebounding.
Larry Hughes and Gerald Wallace ended with 14 points apiece in defeat. The
Bulls are three games behind Charlotte in the ninth spot. In injury news for
the Bobcats, leading scorer Stephen Jackson is probable for Tuesday with
hamstring and ankle problems. He had just eight points in the loss to Chicago.
Charlotte's 29-9 home record is the fourth best in the Eastern Conference and
tied for the eighth best in the NBA.
Atlanta has won two of three meetings against Charlotte this season and five
of seven matchups overall. The Bobcats, however, are 9-2 in the 11 encounters
in the Tar Heel State.
