Preview

If you were awakened by what felt like a seismic shift in earth's tectonic plates last night, it wasn't an earthquake. Instead, it was a Woj bomb. ESPN NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Phoenix Suns acquired Kevin Durant through a blockbuster trade with the Brooklyn Nets.

Given the scope of this article, we will spare you the details. However, the move reorganizes both conferences and changes the landscape of today's trade deadline. Also, it dramatically impacts Phoenix's game against the Atlanta Hawks tonight.

Thanks to injuries and the trade, Phoenix is without a large swath of their team tonight. While Atlanta is enjoying good health, the front office has been eerily quiet leading up to this afternoon's 3:00 p.m. EST deadline.

A lot could change between now and tip-off tonight, but Atlanta should be considered heavy favorites for their first home game in two weeks. Stay locked into AllHawks.com for breaking news throughout the day.
