The losing streak of San Jose has again reached four matches, in which the team lost twice to Vegas (1:2 and 4:5). The club was close to winning the second match, but was unable to maintain the advantage due to a failure in defense. The Sharks returned to their home arena, where they suffered two more losses to St. Louis (1:2 and 2:5). Still, in their native walls, “Sharks” do not manage to show a decent result, in six matches there is only one victory over “St. Louis” (3:2). San Jose still cannot leave the penultimate line in the Western division table.
Atlanta is in fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings with 22 wins and 20 losses. Lloyd Pierce’s team is unstable this season, but in the last eight games they have won eight victories and joined the struggle for the highest places. Last victims of the Hawks were the Lakers (99:94), when John Collins scored 27 points and 16 rebounds and Danilo Gallinari scored 18 points. Atlanta’s injuries are being healed by Deantre Hunter, Brandon Goodwin, Chris Dunn and Cam Reddish. Want more up-to-date basketball betting analysis and stay informed?
