26. Atlanta Hawks (11-24)

Over the last coupe of weeks, the Atlanta Hawks have played more like a playoff team than like one that will be picking in the top 5 of the 2019 NBA Draft. Over the last six games, the Hawks are 5-1 and have solid wins over the likes of Timberwolves, Pistons and Wizards.

Even though no one is expecting the Hawks to make a last-season run towards the playoffs – they’re actually only six games back of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference – this has to be an encouraging stretch for the team.

There’s still a lot of work to be done for the Hawks, but there’s no question that this team is headed on the right direction.
