The Atlanta Hawks have confirmed a lineup of Georgia-based entertainers for their first three home games in November. The team announced the schedule on Monday, pairing state natives with specific matchups at State Farm Arena.

The homestand begins Friday, November 6, against the Washington Wizards. The event is designated as the first Hawks Cup Night of the season. Country artist Bubba Sparxxx is booked for the halftime show. Rapper Fatt Smaxk will also perform during the game.

Sparxxx, who is from the state, commented on the opportunity to perform for the local team. "Georgia made me who I am, and stepping onto that court to rock with Hawks fans is a special moment," he said.

The Hawks host the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday, November 7. Lil Baby, a Grammy-winning rapper, will headline the halftime performance. Atlanta R&B singer Nivea is scheduled to sing the national anthem. Eric Bellinger, also a Grammy winner, will deliver a pop-up set.

Lil Baby stated that Atlanta has influenced his music and stage presence. "Atlanta is who I am, and I can’t wait to give the crowd an unforgettable show," he said.

The series concludes on Monday, November 9, with a game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Yacht Rock Revue will provide the halftime entertainment for that matchup. The group said they plan to bring "sunshine, the harmonies and pure good-time energy" to the arena.

Tickets are available for purchase through the team's official channels. The games will air on WANF’s over-the-air signal and through its carriage on major pay-TV systems. Peachtree Sports Network will broadcast the games across the state, along with Gray Media stations in Albany, Augusta, Columbus, Macon, and Savannah.
