If the Charlotte Hornets are going to have any chance of rallying to snag a playoff spot in the final five weeks of the regular season, they'll have to do plenty of damage against the Atlanta Hawks. The teams meet three times in a four-week span, beginning Monday night in Atlanta, where the Hornets will try to build upon one of their better wins of the season.

The Milwaukee Bucks will try to break out of their mini-slump without MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo when they complete a three-game road trip at the Denver Nuggets on Monday. Antetokounmpo missed Sunday's 140-131 loss at Phoenix due to a knee sprain and will not return until Thursday against Boston, at the earliest.

The Utah Jazz have been incredibly streaky all season, and right now they are on another solid run after sweeping a four-game road trip. They'll try to extend their latest winning streak to six games when they host the Toronto Raptors on Monday.
