Atlanta continues to teeter on the edge of the play-in tournament, a familiar face that they've known all too well over the last several seasons.
The last few weeks of basketball have been kind to the Hawks, seeing a rapid-fire series of victories buoy Atlanta to a potential slot above the play-in for the first time in many months. Unfortunately for Atlanta, this might be bad news for playoff matchups.
Atlanta has long existed in the 7-10 range this season, where they'd be slated to face the 1 or 2 seeds atop the Eastern Conference: Detroit or Boston.
