Atlanta Hawks
Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks shocked the NBA world last year by advancing all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals. They are not enjoying as much success right now being 10th in the East. A push to the playoffs is not ruled out yet for the Hawks, as they have some factors that could help them out.
One of those factors is not having John Collins who was averaging 17 points and eight rebounds a game. Adding to the chance of the team making a stretch run is the fact that Atlanta has the 5th easiest remaining schedule left.
Young’s 28 points and nine assists per game will have to hold the Hawks afloat until Collins comes back from injury to help Trae.
