Atlanta Hawks vs Brooklyn Nets (April 10, 2025): Game preview, betting odds, injury report, and projected lineups

The Atlanta Hawks look to bounce back from a tough loss to the Orlando Magic as they face the rebuilding Brooklyn Nets tonight. With only three games left in the regular season, every matchup is critical for the Hawks' play-in tournament hopes.

The Hawks fell 119-112 to the Magic in a game that was never truly close. Orlando dominated from beyond the arc, shooting 41% from three despite being one of the league's worst three-point shooting teams. The loss also handed the Magic the tiebreaker, making Atlanta’s path to the No. 7 seed even tougher.
Despite the Nets being in full rebuild mode, they’ve given the Hawks trouble this season. Brooklyn won their last meeting 122-114, one of the more surprising upsets of the year. Atlanta can’t afford another slip-up against a team playing for draft position.

Onyeka Okongwu had a breakout performance against Orlando, dropping 30 points and 14 rebounds while shooting 4-7 from three. His ability to stretch the floor will be tested against Nic Claxton, who remains a solid defender despite a down year.
Outside of Trae Young (28 points, 10 assists vs Orlando), the Hawks' starters struggled. Zaccharie Risacher and Dyson Daniels need to step up against a Nets defense that ranks 10th in PPG allowed but 27th in FG% allowed.





Brooklyn’s offense has been among the league’s worst, but rookie Drew Timme has shown promise, averaging 12.3 points and six rebounds in his last six games. Maxwell Lewis has also been a bright spot as a two-way contributor.
