Matchup Breakdown
Atlanta Hawks Outlook
Jalen Johnson scored 25 in the loss to Detroit, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 24. The Hawks lead the NBA in assists per game (30.5) and rank 7th in effective FG% (56.0). They’ve won four straight on the road, showing resilience despite missing Trae Young (knee), Kristaps Porzingis (knee), and Zaccharie Risacher (hip). Their perimeter shooting dipped against Detroit (34.1% from three), but they remain dangerous from deep overall.
San Antonio Spurs Outlook
De’Aaron Fox scored 26 and Harrison Barnes added 23 in the win over Memphis. Keldon Johnson contributed 18, while Devin Vassell and Kelly Olynyk chipped in double figures. The Spurs rank 4th in FG% (49.7) and 2nd in two-point percentage (59.5). Defensively, they allow just 111.3 points per game, 3rd best in the league. Despite missing Wembanyama and Stephon Castle, San Antonio’s depth has carried them through their homestand.
