The Atlanta Hawks added CJ McCollum for injured Trae Young, looking to push for the playoffs this season. The side has many experienced stars around the veteran guard, making the ball movement smooth and impacting their offence positively. The side leads the season with 30.5 assists per game.
Currently, the team averages 117.1 points per game and has an offensive rating of 113.3. Defensively, the side had a 113.9 rating, which takes 14th place in the league. The side will welcome injured Jalen Johnson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, providing them with a huge boost in offence, while Jonathan Kuminga also fared well on the scoring sheet.
Around the rim, the side averages 43.1 rebounds and 4.3 blocks and takes fifth place with 9.4 steals per game, putting in a solid effort in the season.
In the recent game, CJ McCollum led the side with 25 points and six assists, while young center Onyeka Okongwu recorded a double-double performance to win the game against the Washington Wizards. Former Warriors star Jonathan Kuminga also had solid game with 17 points and nine rebounds providing support to McCollum’s playmaking.
The start of 2026 had been very productive for the Blazers, who have won 8 of 10 games and were on a great run of form this year. But then the team dropped some easy games, losing momentum in the league. Their inconsistency also cost them a few wins, bringing them back to a play-in situation.
With an average of 115.5 points in the season, the side stands 17th in the Season. Deni Avdija leads the team in scoring and assists. In the paint region, the side averages 45.8 rebounds per game (8th in the league) and has 5.1 blocks per game in the ongoing season. Sadly, their assist ratio dropped to 24.7 average, with a heavy 17.3 turnovers per game.
Defensively, the team stays on the league average with eight steals per game. Players like Jrue Holiday, Scoot Henderson, and Grant have been very effective on the floor as the team is pushing for the playoff spot.
In the recent game, though, the Hornets stretched the Portlanders with a pacey attack and control over the board. Back-court pair Jrue Holiday and Jeramy Grant provided offensive firepower for the Trail Blazers, scoring 25 and 21 points respectively, but the rest of the team struggled to step up to the challenge.
