The Atlanta Hawks will go on the road to play the Washington Wizards on Saturday in Game 3 of their NBA Playoffs 2015 series. The two teams come into this clash tied at 1-1, both knowing how important it is to get their noses in front at this stage.
Today's game has a start time of 5 p.m. ET and takes place from the Verizon Center in Washington D.C. The game will be broadcast live on TV on the ESPN network but can also be watched online through live stream via the link provided below.
A lot of the pre-game talk has been about John Wall, and whether he would be able to take part in Game 3 or not. Ahead of the game things didn't look too good and no one would be surprised if Wall didn't make it in time to line up alongside his teammates for Game 3.
Ahead of the game Wall has said, "If the pain goes away and I can dribble and do those things, then it's all up to me if I want to take that risk to hurt my hand even more down the road. How competitive I am, if I'm able to be myself then there's a great percentage I will play.
"But if I can't be myself there's no point of going out there. I believe in (my teammates) 110 percent. I don't want everything to be on me."
Wall was sorely missed in Game 2, and it was a big blow to his team when he was put on the inactive list just before tipoff on Tuesday.
He had struggled in a lot of the pre-game exercises and was clearly not comfortable when taking part in the drills and warm-ups.
The Wizards replaced him with Ramon Sessions, who fought valiantly to score 21 points, but it ultimately was not enough as the Hawks stretched out to a 106-90 win, to make this Eastern Conference Semi Finals series 1-1.
The Wizards will be desperate to reclaim the lead tonight in front of their home fans, but the Hawks looked strong in Game 2, and they will be confident to build on the momentum that saw them ease to a Game 2 victory.
