The Atlanta Hawks will play their third preseason game of the 2022 schedule on Wednesday evening when they are back on the road taking on the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Hawks are 2-0 so far this preseason after sweeping the Abu Dhabi Games with a pair of wins over the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Hawks went 3-1 vs. the Cavaliers last season, but the Cavs have since traded for All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell. This could be a matchup between two teams that are battling for a top-4 or top-6 seed in the Eastern Conference this season. During the preseason of course, preparation for the regular season and health are more important than wins and losses, but it will be a fun measuring stick type of contest nonetheless while the regulars are on the floor.
