Local Matchups Friday LIU at Hofstra, 7:00: After LIU’s fabulous run to the NCAA Tournament last, the Blackbirds have become one of the hottest programs in the NY Metro area. With six of its top eight players back, led by junior forward Julian Boyd the Blackbirds could he a handful for Hofstra. As for the Pride, Mo Cassara’s group could be one of the most underrated in the area. Sure, Charles Jenkins and Greg Washington are gone, but Mike Moore, David Imes, Stevie Mejia, Nathaniel Lester and Shemiye McLendon are all experienced players. It should be a good one in Hempstead. Stony Brook at Indiana, 7:00: Stony Brook and its followers have waited an entire off season for this matchup. With so much talent back and several newcomers expected to create an immediate impact, no one would be shocked to see the Seawolves win this game. Senior guard Bryan Dougher, redshirt junior forward Tommy Brenton and senior Dallis Joyner have been the key elements to Stony Brook’s rise. The Seawolves have had winning seasons two of the last three years and have finished .500 or better in the America East the last three years.

    ATLANTA HAWKS to HOST 2019 DRAFT LOTTERY PARTY PRESENTED by GEORGIA LOTTERY Fans Can Register at Hawks.Com/Lottery for the Free Party

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 5/7/19 CONTACTS: Garin Narain or Janet Smith, Hawks Communications, (404) 878-3800 ATLANTA HAWKS TO HOST 2019 DRAFT LOTTERY PARTY PRESENTED BY GEORGIA LOTTERY Fans can Register at Hawks.com/Lottery for the Free Party ATLANTA – The Atlanta Hawks will host a free draft lottery party for the 2019 NBA Draft Lottery at State Farm Arena on Tuesday, May 14. During the party, fans will enjoy great entertainment with appearances by Harry the Hawk, ATL Dancers and Flight Crew, music by DJ Mo Hawk with Big Tigger as the host for the evening, a Georgia Lottery photo booth, raffle prizes and more. Guests will have the opportunity to explore the amenities offered in the transformed State Farm Arena while watching the live lottery broadcast on the third-largest scoreboard in the NBA. Serving as the Hawks’ “good luck charm” on site at the lottery for the second consecutive year is owner Jami Gertz. Last year, Atlanta entered the lottery with the fourth highest odds of receiving the top pick and moved up one spot, securing the third overall pick in the draft. During the 2018 NBA Draft, the Hawks traded their third overall pick in exchange for the fifth pick, the draft rights for Trae Young, in addition to a 2019 top-5 protected first-round pick from Dallas. The Hawks’ own 2019 first-round odds have the fifth-highest odds of moving to No. 1 among the lottery teams. If Dallas’ 2019 first-round pick is not among the top five, Atlanta will receive the Mavericks’ first-round pick.
