With two games remaining in the NBA regular season, the Hawks and Cavaliers will clash in Atlanta on Friday night.
It’s the second meeting this week between the teams, who have both clinched a playoff spot and could face off again in the first round. The Cavs won 122-116 in Cleveland on Wednesday and will be either the third or fourth seed in the Eastern Conference, while the Hawks are currently in sixth, one game above the Play-In slots.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker’s 2025-26 campaign has been a pleasant surprise for Hawks fans, as the seven-year veteran is averaging career bests across the board, with 20.8 points, 3.7 assists, and 3.5 rebounds, along with shooting 45.7% from the field and 39.9% from 3-point range. Atlanta’s franchise cornerstone Jalen Johnson has also had a stellar season and has proven ready to take the next step, averaging 22.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 8.0 assists, on 49.2% shooting from the field and 35.4% from beyond the arc.
While it’s not definite yet if Cleveland’s dynamic duo of Donovan Mitchell and James Harden will play, they have combined to average 51.5 points per game this season (Mitchell: 27.8 PPG, Harden: 23.7 PPG). Whether the franchise opts to rest them to guarantee the stars are ready for the playoffs, the Cavs’ seed is nearly locked in, while the Hawks remain among a handful of teams near the Play-In cutoff point.
