The Atlanta Hawks boast an active winning streak for the first time this season and the team will be aiming for a third consecutive victory on Friday evening. However, the Hawks face a stiff test in the form of the Toronto Raptors and the comes on the road in Canada.
Toronto has dropped two straight (yes, this is a bizarro world) to the Mavs and Thunder but, in general, the Raptors have been fantastic this season. It is nothing new that Kyle Lowry, DeMar DeRozan and company would produce at a high level in the regular season but, this time around, Toronto is operating with a more pleasurable offensive product and, to this point, they are defending at a high level.
