The Orlando Magic travel to State Farm Arena on Monday night to face the Atlanta Hawks in an Eastern Conference clash featuring two of the league’s hottest teams. Both squads enter tonight’s contest on huge winning streaks. This “Peacock NBA Monday” opener is a potential preview of a deep postseason battle.
Orlando arrives in Georgia with a 38–28 record, currently riding a seven-game win streak that has helped them climb to the fifth seed in the East. Despite missing key offensive pieces like Franz Wagner, the Magic have maintained elite efficiency behind the All-Star production of Paolo Banchero. The Magic are currently ranked in the top three in both offensive and defensive ratings during this stretch.
The Hawks, meanwhile, sit at 36–31 and hold the league’s longest active winning streak at nine games. Atlanta has risen into the heart of the playoff race, sitting just half a game behind the seventh seed. They are led by Jalen Johnson and the veteran scoring of CJ McCollum. The Hawks are looking to extend their streak to double digits and pull within 1.5 games of Orlando in the crowded Eastern standings.

Head to Head
The Atlanta Hawks have held the upper hand in the 2025–26 season series, currently leading 2–0. Atlanta secured a tight 111–107 victory in Orlando back in October and followed it up with a 127–112 win at home in November. Historically, the Hawks lead the all-time regular-season series 76–65. While the Magic have won four of the last six meetings, they have struggled to contain Atlanta’s perimeter shooting in their two matchups earlier this season.
Prediction For Magic vs. Hawks
This is a matchup between the two longest active winning streaks in the Eastern Conference, and it should live up to the hype. While the Magic have the defensive pieces to challenge CJ McCollum, the Hawks’ versatility with Jalen Johnson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker gives them a slight edge at home. Expect a back-and-forth battle that Atlanta narrowly clinches at the free-throw line to extend their streak to 10.
Score Prediction: Hawks 117 – Magic 115
