Insights on the Hawks: Atlanta faced a tough loss on Tuesday, marking their third consecutive defeat with a 157-152 setback against Indiana. Despite leading by 20 points in the second, the Hawks couldn’t secure the win. Trae Young shone in the loss, scoring 38 points along with eight assists and three steals. Notably, Young has been on a scoring spree, surpassing his previous point total in the last three games.
Scoring isn’t a concern for the Hawks, ranking in the top four for points per game and offensive rating. However, their defensive struggles persist, as they sit 25th in both points allowed per game and defensive rating. More details on the team’s prospects can be found here.
Insights on the Nets: In a recent painful defeat against Philadelphia with a scoreline of 121-99, Brooklyn continued to struggle against the 76ers, marking their eighth consecutive loss. Lonnie Walker IV led the Nets with 26 bench points, while Cameron Johnson had a challenging game, managing just nine points on 3 of 12 shooting across 28 minutes.
Brooklyn excels in long-range shooting, ranking among the top five in both 3-pointers made and 3-point percentage. However, defensive activity remains an area for improvement, ranking last in steals and forcing the fewest turnovers per game. Absences due to injuries, particularly Ben Simmons (back) and Cameron Thomas (ankle), further challenge the Nets. Details on the team’s analysis can be found here.
