Teams Preview

Atlanta Hawks

The Atlanta Hawks have faced a challenging stretch, losing their last three games to the Chicago Bulls (122-136) and Golden State Warriors (97-120), but securing a win against the Sacramento Kings (109-108). They currently stand 13th in the Eastern Conference with a 7-10 record. Offensively, the Hawks rely heavily on Trae Young, who averages 22.1 points and 11.1 assists per game, and Jalen Johnson, who adds 19.4 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. 

Their offensive strategy includes strong ball movement, averaging 29.1 assists per game, and efficient scoring with a 53.3% 2-point shooting efficiency and a 34.2% 3-point efficiency. Defensively, the Hawks struggle, allowing opponents to shoot 47.3% from the field and 35.8% from three-point range. They average 43.2 rebounds and 4.7 blocks per game, indicating room for improvement in controlling the boards and protecting the rim.

Key players to watch include De'Andre Hunter, who contributes 17.2 points per game, and Clint Capela, who averages 11.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game. With Cody Zeller and Seth Lundy currently sidelined due to injuries, the Hawks will likely see increased playing time for Onyeka Okongwu and Bogdan Bogdanovic. Okongwu has been effective in the paint, contributing defensively and on the boards, while Bogdanovic provides an offensive spark off the bench.

The Hawks’ strategy to outscore their opponents will focus on leveraging their offensive strengths, such as fast breaks and three-point shooting while addressing defensive weaknesses by improving perimeter defense and reducing turnovers. By capitalizing on these strategies, the Hawks aim to improve their standings and secure more wins in the upcoming games.

Dallas Mavericks

The Dallas Mavericks have been in good form recently as they are currently boasting a record of 9-7 and are on a 4-game winning streak at the time of writing placing them ninth in the NBA standing at the time of writing. Over their last three games, they've been able to prove resilience and determination, winning two away and one at home in Dallas. Their offense strategy plays on their shooting efficiency, especially on their 3-point shooting with 38%, while they channelled part of their defense strategy by improving on limiting opponents from acquiring points. 

The Mavericks averaged 48 rebounds and 5 blocks per game while also providing 25 assists. This control over the boards and their passing has been a huge strong point for the Dallas side. On top of this, their 2-point shooting percentage stands at 55%, which shows they shoot pretty well in the 3-point arc.

 Other stars are also to watch: Starting constant player, yet the injury during recent times marred his usual contribution for the Mavericks. His substitute will be Spencer Dinwiddie, who can "fill the gap" and clock more playing time in Dončić's place. The Mavericks approach is to accumulate as many high-percentage shots and remain stingy on defense to frustrate the other team from scoring. Being a good mix of older experience and newer talent is well-suited for this success. On the offensive side of the floor, this team relies on Dončić's all-around playmaking and scoring, in addition to a bevy of rim protectors with Dwight Powell and Maxi Kleber anchoring the defense. This team stresses ball movement and shooting efficiency, thus stretching the floor and creating open looks for its shooters.

Defensively, they go on harping over contesting shots and garnering rebounds to cut down second-chance opportunities for their opponents. This balanced approach leaves the team ready to take on all the season's barrage and look forward to a deep run into the postseason so much so that fans will be keenly following the Mavericks within the competitive Western Conference.
