The Atlanta Hawks have lost its last 4 games and 6 of the last 7.
Atlanta and Toronto are very similar in that they are mid-tier teams who are slumping toward the lottery as up-and-coming teams leapfrog them in the standings. Both teams are “stuck” but in different ways.
The Hawks are locked into its core — Trae Young, Dejounte Murray, Clint Capela, De’Andre Hunter, Bogdan Bogdanovic, and Onyeka Okongwu — through next season.
