The Indiana Pacers will take on the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday in NBA preseason action at the State Farm Arena.
Last season, the Hawks finished in 10th place in the Eastern Conference but were unable to secure a playoff spot after losing to the Chicago Bulls in the play-in round, leaving them out of postseason contention.
In contrast, the Pacers finished strong in 6th place in the Eastern Conference. They emerged as one of the surprising teams in the playoffs, managing to defeat both the New York Knicks and the Milwaukee Bucks before ultimately falling to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. Boston went on to claim the NBA championship.

Atlanta Hawks team news
The Hawks are entering their second full season under head coach Quin Snyder. With the departure of Dejounte Murray, the team is shifting the playmaking responsibilities back to Trae Young. However, this move seems to indicate that the Hawks might be leaning toward a rebuild, resulting in a somewhat puzzling roster. Bogdan Bogdanovic remains a reliable shooter, and Clint Capela continues to be effective in the paint.
A complete season from De'Andre Hunter would certainly be beneficial, and there's promise in the youth of Zaccharie Risacher and Jalen Johnson. While the situation isn't dire for the Hawks, their current lineup likely won't create much of an impact in the Eastern Conference.
Indiana Pacers team news
James Wiseman, Isaiah Jackson, and Johnny Furphy from Indiana have all been managing injuries throughout training camp. The Pacers largely retain the same roster as last season, with Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner at the helm.
Pascal Siakam is set to have a complete season with the team, while Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith gained valuable playoff experience last year. T.J. McConnell continues to be one of the most underrated players off the bench in the NBA. If you were a fan of the Pacers last season, you'll likely have even more confidence in them now, especially given their demonstrated offensive capabilities.
