Keys to the Game:
•Stop Dennis Schroder
Let's be honest here, the chances of the Hawks beating the Kings tonight are slim, unless Dennis Schroder scores 41 points again like he did against the Jazz a couple of nights ago. If you can contain Schroder, your chances of winning are pretty high.
•Rebounding
Winning the rebounding battle tonight should help guarantee a notch in the win column. The Hawks had 52 rebounds against the Jazz, something you can't afford to let happen tonight.
