Teams Preview

Brooklyn Nets

After winning three games in a row, the Brooklyn Nets seemed to have lost their way as they managed to win just one game in their last 7 games. January was harsh for the New York team considering that they managed to win just 2 games of the 14 played. However, in February, the team has been playing better basketball, winning 6 and losing just 4. In March they have won just 1 match out of the 7 played. When writing, the Brooklyn Nets hold a 22-44 record, placing them 12th in the Eastern Conference and 4th in the Atlantic Division.

One of their key players is Cam Thomas, who averages 24.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists but has managed to play in just 22 games so far. In his absence, Cameron Johnson leads the team with 19 points per game. The team ranks 28th in terms of offense scoring a mere 105.2 points per game, but has been solid defensively, ranking them 11th overall as they allow opponents 111.7 points per game. However, regarding points differential, the team lies on the negative with -6.5. They average 41 rebounds per game, ranking them 29th in this category and 24th in terms of assists as the team manages to assist just 24.8 assists a game.

The Nets are also grappling with significant injury issues with no player playing all 56 games this season. They currently have 3 players injured. Cam Thomas is said to be making significant progress and has returned to the paying 5. Noah Clowney finds himself injured from the Nets' roster. For the upcoming game against the Hornets, the potential starting lineup includes D’Angelo Russell at point guard, Cam Thomas at shooting guard, Z. Williams at small forward, Cameroon Johnson at power forward, and Nic Claxton at center.

Atlanta Hawks

The Atlanta Hawks record 32-35 and they are currently ranked 1st in the Southeast Division but are placed 7th in the Eastern Conference, with five games behind the 6th-seeded Detroit Pistons. January was horrible for the Atlanta side, with the team managing to win just 4 of the 11 games. In February they were slightly better going 5-7 for the month. However, March has seen the team rejuvenated as they are currently recording 5-2, with their recent loss coming against the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Atlanta Hawks have been so inconsistent, sometimes winning 3 games in a row while also losing 3 games in a row. On average, the Hawks score 117.3 points per game, ranking 5th overall in the league. They collect 44.8 rebounds per game, placing them 12th overall, and provide 29.4 assists per game, which ranks 2nd overall this season. Despite their solid overall performance, the team has not significantly excited their fans. Trae Young leads the offense, averaging 23.8 points and 11.5 assists per game. 

Defensively, Jalen Johnson was averaging 10 rebounds and 1 block per game before his season came to an end, while Dyson Daniels contributes with an average of 3 steals per game.

Key players to watch include Trae Young, who is essential for scoring and playmaking, averaging over 24 points and 11.5 assists per game. Jalen Johnson is noted for his rebounding and defensive contributions, while Dyson Daniels has emerged as a versatile player on both ends of the court.

Five players from the roster currently find themselves injured, namely, Trae Young, Kobe Bufkin, Larry Nance Jr., Caris Lavert and Jalen Johnson who will miss the rest of the season. The Hawks are expected to start Keaton Wallace and Dyson Daniels as guards, with Zaccharie Risacher and Mouhamed Gueye as forwards, and Onyeka Okongwu at center.
