The Atlanta Hawks return home from a frustrating three-game road trip with a Friday night matchup vs. the Los Angeles Clippers. The Hawks dropped the final two games of the trip, with both losses feeling like devastating blows. Atlanta will now try to pick up the pieces as they return home for another tough opponent.
The Clippers, despite being without Kawhi Leonard for all of the season, and Paul George for much of the season, are the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference and should be in good position to hold that spot going into the playoffs if they can play .
