The Portland Trail Blazers (29-32) head to face the Atlanta Hawks (30-31) in this NBA 2025-26 matchup on Sunday, March 1, at State Farm Arena.

Portland has taken the only head-to-head battle with Atlanta so far this season, earning a solid 117-101 road win back in January. Led by veteran guard Jrue Holiday, their pesky defense forced the Hawks to commit 20 turnovers. Shaedon Sharpe put up a team-high 24 points in that victory.

However, the Blazers are coming off a recent 109-93 loss to the Charlotte Hornets. They let Charlotte mount a 12-point lead after the opening quarter, as Portland's offense sputtered early. Holiday topscored for the Blazers with 25, while Jerami Grant chipped in 21.

More bad news for Portland comes in the form of their injury report, which consists of Deni Avdija, Shaedon Sharpe, and Damian Lillard.

Meanwhile, the Hawks have won three straight games, including a 126-96 victory over the Washington Wizards. Corey Kispert came off the bench to put up a game-high 33 points, while veteran guard CJ McCollum scored 25.

The win was also Atlanta's fourth in the last five games. All-Star forward Jalen Johnson, who missed the last game, is listed day-to-day, along with Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

Our Atlanta Hawks vs Portland Trail Blazers Prediction

The Blazers grabbed the win in their sole meeting with the Hawks this season, but Atlanta has surged with three straight victories and a strong home stretch lately. On top of that, Portland's major injury hits to several top contributors, including All-Star forward Deni Avdija, give Atlanta a clear edge in this contest.

If Jalen Johnson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, both listed day-to-day, play on Sunday, this could be light work for the Hawks. Our prediction for the Atlanta Hawks vs Portland Trail Blazers match is: Hawks (-5.5) cover the spread.
