Houston Rockets vs. Atlanta Hawks Game Preview The Houston Rockets face a challenging stretch after being swept by the Los Angeles Lakers in two consecutive home games. While the loss ends a critical homestand, the team now turns its attention to a formidable opponent in the Atlanta Hawks, who have dominated the league with an 11-game winning streak. The Rockets’ next challenge will be a back-to-back series, starting with a matchup against the Miami Heat, which will be rested and fresh after a grueling schedule. This homestand was expected to be a pivotal moment for Houston, but the schedule proved difficult. The Rockets faced a tough slate, including games against the Pelicans, who were in peak form, the Lakers, who had ended a five-game losing streak, and the Hawks, who have been unstoppable. The Rockets needed to secure at least a 3-2 or 4-1 record from the series, but dropping two games to the Lakers has left them with limited room for error. Now, they must focus on salvaging what they can from the remaining matchups. The Rockets’ ability to counter double teams targeting Kevin Durant will be tested again, this time against the Hawks’ elite perimeter defense. Atlanta’s squad has proven to be more disciplined and aggressive on the perimeter compared to the Lakers, making it a stiffer challenge for Houston’s offense. The team’s adjustments from their previous games against the Lakers will be crucial as they prepare for a high-stakes encounter. Looking ahead, the Rockets’ next game will be against the Miami Heat, a team that has shown resilience with seven wins in their last ten contests. The Heat’s rested roster could present a new set of challenges, but Houston will need to regroup quickly to avoid further setbacks.#los_angeles_lakers #miami_heat #atlanta_hawks #houston_rockets #new_orleans_pelicans
Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks are in disagreement over whether the two-time NBA MVP should play the team’s remaining 14 regular-season games. According to league sources, the Bucks have advised their star player to sit out the contests, citing the team’s current position in the standings and concerns about his health. However, Antetokounmpo has expressed a desire to continue playing, despite ongoing injury issues. The Bucks are 6.5 games behind the Charlotte Hornets for the final Play-In Tournament spot, and team officials believe resting Antetokounmpo would benefit both his long-term health and the team’s chances in the draft. The 10-time All-Star has missed 32 games this season due to injuries, including recurring issues with his calf, groin, ankle, and knee. Despite these setbacks, he has averaged 27.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 5.4 assists in 28.9 minutes per game in 36 contests. Antetokounmpo’s latest injury is a left knee hyperextension sustained during the Bucks’ 134-123 win over the Indiana Pacers. After the game, he told reporters he felt fine and believed he could have returned. However, Bucks coach Doc Rivers confirmed the team had him undergo an MRI to confirm the injury’s severity. The scan revealed no damage, but the team has opted to keep him sidelined for the next game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Bucks have listed Antetokounmpo as out for the game due to a bone bruise from the knee injury, even though he was previously marked as questionable with a left ankle sprain. Rivers acknowledged the difficulty of balancing the risk of further injury against the potential reward of playing, especially with a postseason appearance seeming unlikely. “That’s a good question,” Rivers said. “I don’t have the answer, but it’s a very good question.#milwaukee_bucks #giannis_antetokounmpo #atlanta_hawks #new_orleans_pelicans #doc_rivers
Stats Rundown: 3 Numbers from the Mavericks Loss to the Hawks The Dallas Mavericks suffered another heavy defeat, falling to the Atlanta Hawks 135-120 in a Wednesday night matchup in Dallas. The Hawks’ CJ McCollum dominated with 24 points, while Jalen Johnson nearly recorded a triple-double with 17 points, 11 rebounds, and nine assists. Dallas’ Daniel Gafford led the team in scoring with 23 points. The game lacked defensive intensity, continuing a troubling trend for the Mavericks as they approach another season of struggles. The Hawks’ ability to score in the paint was alarming, as they tallied 72 points inside the arc. This followed Dallas’ earlier giveaway of 68 paint points to the Pelicans on Monday, highlighting a recurring issue. The Mavericks’ small-ball lineup, which started again, proved ineffective from the outset. PJ Washington, a rim protector for a wing, struggled as the sole backline defender, and the presence of 5-foot-11 Ryan Nembhard further weakened the defensive effort. The team’s lack of reliable defenders compounded their challenges, with little hope of turning things around. Cooper Flagg contributed minimally offensively but made an impact defensively, recording two steals and two blocks. While the Mavericks’ defensive struggles were evident, Flagg’s efforts provided a few moments of disruption. However, the team’s overall lack of defensive presence overshadowed any positive contributions. The Mavericks’ offensive woes were also apparent, as Flagg, PJ Washington, and Naji Marshall combined for just 2-of-10 shooting from beyond the arc. Washington managed 2-of-6, but Flagg and Marshall were a combined 0-for-4. The team’s reliance on small-ball tactics to boost an anemic offense has not resolved their shooting issues.#dallas_mavericks #atlanta_hawks #jalen_johnson #cj_mccollum #daniel_gafford
Atlanta Hawks Extend Winning Streak to 11 Games with 135-120 Victory Over Mavericks The Atlanta Hawks secured their 11th consecutive win with a 135-120 triumph over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night, marking their longest winning streak since the 2014-2015 season. CJ McCollum led the way for Atlanta with 24 points, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 22. Dyson Daniels contributed 19 points on 9-of-13 shooting, and Jalen Johnson scored 17 points alongside 11 rebounds. The Hawks, now at 38-31, remain in contention for a play-in playoff spot. The Mavericks, meanwhile, fell to 23-47 and are projected to secure a top-four draft lottery position. Daniel Gafford led Dallas with 24 points, P.J. Washington added 23, and Cooper Flagg chipped in 17. The Mavericks’ struggles continued as they committed 18 turnovers, seven more than the Hawks. Atlanta’s dominance was evident from the start, as Onyeka Okongwo scored the first 10 points of the game and the Hawks never trailed. By halftime, the score was 67-56 in Atlanta’s favor. The victory extended the Hawks’ winning streak, which is tied for the fourth-longest in franchise history. One of the night’s standout moments came when Jonathan Kuminga launched a 75-foot three-pointer, the longest basket in the Hawks’ play-by-play era and the sixth-longest in NBA history since 1997-98. The shot surpassed the previous Hawks record of a 63-foot make by Jason Terry in 2000. The Hawks will next face the Houston Rockets on Friday night, while the Mavericks will host the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday. 6:00 AM, 19 March 2026 American Airlines Center Referee: James Williams Los Angeles Lakers vs.#dallas_mavericks #atlanta_hawks #cj_mccollum #nickeil_alexanderwalker #onyeka_okongwo
Atlanta Hawks' 10-Game Winning Streak Highlights Dyson Daniels' Unsung Heroics The Atlanta Hawks have dominated the NBA over the past eight games, securing victories in each contest and showcasing a level of consistency that has shifted the narrative around the team from "promising" to "legitimate contender." During this streak, the Hawks have outscored opponents by double digits in nine games and exceeded 115 points in the same number of contests. This sustained performance has positioned the franchise as a serious playoff threat, with key players like Jonathan Kuminga, Onyeka Okungwu, and Corey Kispert receiving much of the spotlight. However, team leader Jalen Johnson has pointed to Dyson Daniels as the unsung hero behind the success. While Trae Young’s absence has increased Daniels’ role as a primary ball-handler, the 23-year-old has thrived under the pressure. He recently became the first player in NBA history to record at least 80 points, 50 rebounds, and 50 assists in a seven-game stretch while committing five or fewer turnovers. This achievement underscores the completeness of his game and answers lingering questions about his offensive potential. For Johnson, Daniels’ contributions extend beyond the box score. His ability to set screens, make timely passes, and defend effectively has made life easier for teammates, even if his efforts don’t always translate to flashy stats. Johnson emphasized that Daniels’ value lies in his versatility and work ethic. "Dyson has been huge for us," Johnson said. "Not just over this winning streak, but the whole year. He brings pretty much every aspect to the game, and he’s somebody who’s always willing to get better and learn. It’s a testament to his work, and obviously, we need him to keep being big for us.#atlanta_hawks #trae_young #jalen_johnson #eastern_confederation #dyson_daniels
CJ McCollum has been a key factor in the Atlanta Hawks' resurgence following the All-Star break, with his performance helping fuel a nine-game winning streak. The team is currently focused on maintaining this momentum and improving their position in the Eastern Conference standings. As the season progresses, several questions remain about McCollum's future with the Hawks. The veteran guard is set to become a free agent after his contract expires, and multiple teams are expected to show interest in his services. When asked by NBA insider Jake Fischer about the possibility of returning to the Hawks, McCollum responded with a lighthearted yet clear stance. “That’s not up to me, my friend,” McCollum said. Fischer then discussed the potential scenarios for McCollum, assuming a team offering similar terms to the Hawks. McCollum emphasized his commitment to the current team. “I like it here, man,” he said. “I'm here for a reason. We'll see. But right now, it’s about playing winning basketball and building on what we've done and stack wins and stack winning habits.” McCollum’s focus remains on the present, with the team’s playoff aspirations taking priority. After scoring 30 points in a game against the Milwaukee Bucks, he reiterated his dedication to the team’s success. “I’m just doing my job,” he said. “I told them when I got here, I’ll do whatever you guys need me to do. Come off the bench, start. Whatever it takes to be successful. I think for us it’s about gelling at the right time, doing things the right way at the right time. And we’ve had a good homestand.” The Hawks’ recent success has been built on McCollum’s contributions, but the team’s long-term plans will depend on how his performance and role evolve.#milwaukee_bucks #eastern_conference #atlanta_hawks #cj_mccollum #jake_fischer
Hawks’ CJ McCollum Addresses Being a Starter with Confident Response The Atlanta Hawks have been on a nine-game winning streak, and their recent success has been closely tied to CJ McCollum’s transition to the starting lineup. The team’s surge began when McCollum replaced Zaccharie Risacher in the starting five, and the results have been consistent. Stats show the Hawks perform better with McCollum in the lineup alongside Dyson Daniels, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Jalen Johnson, and Onyeka Okongwu. This dynamic has continued to deliver strong results, and McCollum has not indicated any plans to return to the bench. After a win against the Milwaukee Bucks, McCollum was asked about his preference for starting over coming off the bench. He responded by emphasizing the team’s needs over personal role preferences. “For me, it’s whatever the team needs,” McCollum said. “I think the money is on time every two weeks, regardless. That’s always helpful, but historically, I’ve been a starter. However, I’m comfortable playing whatever role is necessary for us, as long as we’re competing for something. That’s what’s really important for me: playing winning basketball and competing for something right now. That’s what they want me to do, and when your boss tells you something, you’ve got to do it.” McCollum’s inclusion in the starting lineup hasn’t disrupted the team’s rhythm; instead, it has enhanced their performance. Jalen Johnson, who has thrived in the lineup, highlighted McCollum’s value as a veteran presence. “Some lineups may look different, but CJ’s been a great vet to come in, and he understands the game at an elite level,” Johnson said. “So having him on the court with us, he just shows us little pointers and stuff where we can be effective at, and I feel like he’s done a great job leading our group.#atlanta_hawks #jalen_johnson #cj_mccollum #zaccharie_risacher #dyson_daniels
CJ McCollum gave the Hawks a problem nobody is talking about When the Atlanta Hawks acquired CJ McCollum in the Trae Young trade, there was an assumption he wouldn’t stay long. His $30 million expiring contract meant the Hawks could have traded him before the deadline or let him leave in free agency, freeing up to $32.9 million in cap space. But McCollum’s performance in a Hawks jersey has made that scenario unlikely, unless they find a perfect replacement. The Hawks must either extend McCollum or find a replacement for him. While his efficiency has dipped since the trade, his defensive and passing contributions were never stellar. Statistically, he might seem like a liability, yet he’s been central to Atlanta’s 10-0 streak over the past four weeks. The question remains: how is a player with declining scoring and passing ability still a positive for the team? McCollum’s value lies in his ability to create space off the dribble. Despite his age and 12-year NBA experience, his handle, agility, and explosiveness make him a unique threat. Even if he’s not hitting shots consistently, his presence opens up opportunities for teammates. The Hawks’ supporting cast—Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Dyson Daniels, Onyeka Okongwu, and Zaccharie Risacher—thrives when playing off a secondary scorer like McCollum or Jalen Johnson. While Johnson is having a stellar season, a single primary scorer isn’t enough in today’s NBA. Atlanta has recognized McCollum’s impact on their recent success and is now weighing options. Extending him is the straightforward path, but the team might prefer a riskier approach: drafting an elite offensive guard like Darryn Peterson or Kingston Flemings. However, relying on draft picks is less certain than keeping a proven veteran with McCollum’s leadership.#atlanta_hawks #cj_mccollum #onsi_saleh #nickeil_alexander_walker #dyson_daniels
Orlando Magic suffer first loss since March 1, snapping seven-game win streak The Orlando Magic fell to the Atlanta Hawks 124-112 on Monday, marking their first defeat since March 1. The loss ended a seven-game winning streak and intensified competition in the Southeast Division. The Magic remain fifth in the Eastern Conference, tied with Toronto, and hold a half-game lead over the Miami Heat while maintaining a 1.5-game advantage over the Atlanta Hawks and Philadelphia 76ers with 15 games remaining in the regular season. Orlando faces a critical test against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday, March 17, at Kia Center. The Thunder, the league’s top team with a 53-15 record, bring an eight-game win streak and a 7-0 March record to Central Florida. Despite missing All-Star guard Jalen Williams, Oklahoma remains a formidable force, highlighted by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s 20-point performance in a 116-103 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Thunder’s Chet Holmgren added 21 points, while SGA extended his 20-point scoring streak to 128 games, surpassing Wilt Chamberlain’s previous record. Orlando, meanwhile, has posted a 7-2 record in March despite the ongoing absences of key players Franz Wagner and Anthony Black. The Magic have avoided consecutive losses since February, but their upcoming matchup against the Thunder adds intrigue. The Thunder have dominated the Magic in recent meetings, including a 128-92 blowout on February 3, where Isaiah Hartenstein recorded his first triple-double. The Magic’s Jalen Suggs led the team with 20 points and six assists, but the rest of the roster struggled, combining for 27-of-79 shooting. The Thunder’s dominance extends to their road performance, with a 24-8 record and a 16-6 mark against Eastern Conference opponents.#oklahoma_city_thunder #orlando_magic #atlanta_hawks #shai_gilgeousalexander #isaias_hartenstein
Jonathan Kuminga's Role with the Hawks Remains Limited Jonathan Kuminga, the former seventh overall draft pick, has struggled to secure a significant role with the Atlanta Hawks despite his trade from the Golden State Warriors. Since joining the team in late January, Kuminga has appeared in just four games, and his limited playing time has raised questions about his future with the franchise. Head coach Quin Synder has prioritized a starting lineup that has thrived without Kuminga, leaving the 23-year-old sidelined due to ongoing knee injuries. Kuminga’s situation mirrors challenges he faced during his time with the Warriors, where he often battled for minutes amid a roster built around veteran stars. The Hawks, however, have found success in spite of his absence, winning nine consecutive games and positioning themselves as a contender for a top-six seed in the Eastern Conference. The team’s current starting lineup—comprising Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels, Nickeil-Alexander Walker, Onyeka Okongwu, and McCollum—has demonstrated exceptional efficiency, outscoring opponents by 26.8 points per 100 possessions in their limited minutes together. This performance has solidified Synder’s confidence in the group, even as Kuminga’s return looms. Kuminga’s injury concerns have persisted since his last game with the Warriors on January 22, when he sustained a left knee issue. He has only played once in the past five games, logging less than 20 minutes in his most recent appearance against the Washington Wizards. Despite an explosive start with the Hawks, his production has dipped in recent outings, with just two points scored in his last game.#atlanta_hawks #jalen_johnson #jonathan_kuminga #golden_state_warriors #quin_synder
Final Injury Report for Magic-Hawks: Key Players Likely Out for Monday’s Game The Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic prepare for their Monday night matchup, with both teams facing potential absences from key players due to injuries. The Hawks, coming off a nine-game winning streak, aim to extend their dominance in the Eastern Conference, while the Magic seek to continue their seven-game winning streak. However, injury concerns could impact the outcome of the game. The Hawks enter the contest with a 36-31 record after defeating the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. Jalen Johnson led the team with a triple-double performance, scoring 23 points, grabbing 10 rebounds, and dishing out 12 assists. C.J. McCollum added 30 points to the effort. Despite their strong form, the Hawks have one injury concern: forward Jonathan Kuminga. Listed as questionable due to left knee injury management, Kuminga risks missing his second consecutive game. If sidelined, players like Zaccharie Risacher, Mouhamed Gueye, and Corey Kispert could see increased playing time. The Magic, with a 38-28 record, also face challenges on the injury front. Forward Franz Wagner is ruled out for the game due to a left ankle injury that has kept him sidelined since February 19. There is no set return date for Wagner, and his absence will likely shift the offensive load to Tristan da Silva and Noah Penda. Guard Anthony Black is also out after missing his fifth straight game due to an abdominal strain. Center Jonathan Isaac remains sidelined with a left knee sprain, while forward Jett Howard is listed as questionable due to an illness. Both teams will need to adjust their strategies as they navigate the absence of key contributors.#orlando_magic #atlanta_hawks #franz_wagner #jalen_johnson #tristan_da_silva
New Giannis Trade Rumors Highlight Hawks' Reluctance to Move Jalen Johnson The Atlanta Hawks have reportedly shown little interest in trading their rising star Jalen Johnson as part of a potential deal for Giannis Antetokounmpo, according to recent reports. Jake Fischer of The Stein Line noted that the Hawks have consistently viewed the idea of sending Johnson as part of a trade package for the Bucks’ star forward as a “non-starter.” This stance reflects the team’s belief in Johnson’s long-term value and their unwillingness to part with him despite the potential benefits of acquiring Giannis. The Hawks’ reluctance is further underscored by their status as a “natural” trade partner for Giannis, given their ownership of the Bucks’ 2026 and 2027 first-round draft picks, contingent on specific conditions being met. While Milwaukee would likely see the return of those picks and the development of Johnson as a significant asset, the Hawks’ position remains firm. Johnson, a 24-year-old former Duke standout, has become a cornerstone of Atlanta’s roster since being selected 20th overall in the 2021 NBA draft. Johnson’s growth has been remarkable, particularly after limited playing time in his first two NBA seasons. By the 2023-24 season, he emerged as a key contributor, averaging 16.0 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. This trajectory continued into the current season, where he is posting career highs with 22.9 points, 10.4 rebounds, 8.0 assists, and 1.6 three-pointers per game across 59 appearances. His efficiency is also notable, with a 49.5% field goal shooting rate and 35.1% three-point accuracy, making him Atlanta’s most impactful player. Johnson’s development has been so impressive that the Hawks were willing to trade former franchise cornerstone Trae Young to the Washington Wizards in a separate deal.#duke #giannis_antetokounmpo #atlanta_hawks #jalen_johnson #the_stein_line
Atlanta Hawks Rumors Highlight Jalen Johnson's MVP Potential The Atlanta Hawks have entered a new phase of their season, riding a nine-game winning streak and showing signs of becoming a competitive force in the Eastern Conference. Despite losing their star player, Trae Young, in a blockbuster trade earlier in the year, the team has adapted with a rebuilt roster centered around Jalen Johnson. Since the trade deadline on February 5, the Hawks have posted a net rating of +7.4, ranking sixth in the league, with a strong defensive rating of 109.2. Their improved performance has been fueled by better team cohesion, strategic adjustments, and a renewed sense of unity among players. Jake L. Fischer of the Stein Line substack provided insight into the team’s transformation, highlighting how the locker room atmosphere has shifted. New starting point guard Dyson Daniel noted that players are now more vocal and collaborative, with communication improving significantly. “Everyone’s speaking up, and the locker room’s gelling,” Daniel said. Jalen Johnson echoed this sentiment, recalling how the team struggled with communication earlier in the season, particularly during a 23-point collapse against the Denver Nuggets in December. “Our communication allows us to stay together in those moments,” Johnson explained. He also emphasized that the current team feels like the closest-knit group he’s been part of in Atlanta. The Hawks’ confidence in Johnson has also been a focal point of recent rumors. While there were whispers about a potential trade involving Giannis Antetokounmpo, league sources confirm that Atlanta has ruled out such a deal.#atlanta_hawks #jalen_johnson #dyson_daniel #onyeka_okongwu #cj_mccollum
Nets vs Hawks Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight’s NBA Game The Brooklyn Nets will face the Atlanta Hawks in an Eastern Conference matchup at State Farm Arena tonight, with the game set for 7:30 p.m. ET. Jalen Johnson, the Hawks’ standout player, is expected to dominate the scoring, and our expert analysis highlights his potential to exceed 22.5 points in the contest. Johnson has been on a scoring tear recently, posting over 24 points in his last two games against the Nets and averaging 24.5 points per game against them this season. His recent performances, including a 35-point outburst against the Philadelphia 76ers and 27 points against the Dallas Mavericks, suggest he’s in a strong rhythm. The Hawks are favored in the spread, with Atlanta listed at -14 (-110) and Brooklyn at +14 (-110). The moneyline also favors the Hawks, with the team priced at -950 compared to the Nets’ +637. The over/under for total points is set at 226.5, with even money on both sides. Our best bet for the game is Johnson’s Over 22.5 points at -120, as his recent scoring efficiency and matchup against a weak Nets defense make him a strong proposition. For a same-game parlay, the analysis suggests combining three plays: Johnson Over 22.5 points, CJ McCollum Over 3.5 assists, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker Over 2.5 made threes. McCollum has been a reliable playmaker since joining the Hawks, averaging 3.8 assists in his last 25 games. With Dyson Daniels questionable, McCollum is likely to handle more ball distribution, ensuring at least four assists. Alexander-Walker, who hit 3-of-9 against the Nets in February, has been shooting well from beyond the arc and could capitalize on Brooklyn’s struggles against three-pointers.#atlanta_hawks #brooklyn_nets #jalen_johnson #state_farm_arena #c_j_mccollum
Final Injury Report for Nets-Hawks: Will Jonathan Kuminga, Michael Porter Jr. Play? The Atlanta Hawks host the Brooklyn Nets in an Eastern Conference matchup on Thursday night. The Hawks enter the game with a 34-31 record after extending their seven-game winning streak with a 108-99 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. Jalen Johnson led the charge for Atlanta, scoring 27 points while adding seven rebounds and eight assists. Nickeil Alexader-Walker contributed 29 points and three assists. The Hawks aim to secure their eighth consecutive home win against a struggling Nets team, which carries a 17-48 record following a 97-105 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday. Michael Porter Jr. led Brooklyn with 19 points, while Danny Wolf added 13 points and eight rebounds off the bench. Both teams face potential absences due to injuries. The Nets have five players listed on their injury report, including Michael Porter Jr. and Nolan Traore. Porter Jr., sidelined by a right ankle sprain, will miss his first game since March 9. His absence could elevate the roles of Danny Wolf, Jalen Wilson, and Ochai Agbaji. Traore, ruled out due to rest, will miss his first game since January 17, potentially opening opportunities for Ben Saraf and Terence Mann. Day’Ron Sharpe is also out with a left thumb sprain, while Ziaire Williams is listed as questionable due to an illness. The Hawks have two players on their injury report: Jonathan Kuminga and Dyson Daniels. Kuminga, dealing with a left knee bone bruise, is in danger of missing his fourth consecutive game. His absence may lead to increased playing time for Corey Kispert, Zaccharie Risacher, and Mouhamed Gueye. Daniels, sidelined by a left great toe sprain, could miss his first game since February 9. The game is set for 7:30 p.m. ET in Atlanta.#atlanta_hawks #brooklyn_nets #jalen_johnson #michael_porter_jr #jonathan_kuminga

Luke Kennard Trade Looks Even Better as Former Lakers Guard Hits New Low The Los Angeles Lakers made a significant move before the trade deadline by acquiring Luke Kennard in exchange for Gabe Vincent and a 2032 second-round draft pick. The sharpshooter has quickly become a valuable asset for the team, addressing a critical need for a reliable floor spacer. Vincent, who struggled to adapt to the Lakers’ system, has since fallen further behind in Atlanta, making the trade appear increasingly beneficial for Los Angeles. Vincent, a 6'2" guard signed in 2023 after a strong season with the Miami Heat, was expected to contribute as a 3-and-D threat. However, his performance with the Lakers was inconsistent, with limited minutes and a low shooting percentage. His struggles continued in Atlanta, where he has shot just 20.1% from beyond the arc in seven games. The Hawks, in need of shooting, have moved Vincent to the fringes of the rotation, giving him fewer opportunities to showcase his skills. The Lakers’ decision to trade Vincent was driven by the need to improve their perimeter shooting, a weakness that plagued them before the Kennard acquisition. Prior to the trade, Los Angeles ranked 23rd in 3-pointers made and 21st in long-range percentage. Kennard’s arrival has already made a noticeable difference, with the team climbing to second in 3-point percentage and 18th in threes made in just 13 games. His ability to consistently hit from deep has forced opponents to adjust their defensive schemes, creating open opportunities for other Lakers players. Kennard’s impact has been particularly evident in his efficiency from beyond the arc, where he is shooting 52.5% on 40 attempts. His presence has allowed the Lakers to maximize their offensive potential around Luka Doncic, providing a reliable option to stretch the floor.#lakers #luka_doncic #atlanta_hawks #gabriel_vincent #rob_pelinka
