“Crunching the Numbers: Atlanta Hawks Take on Dallas Mavericks”

The Atlanta Hawks, in the midst of a scorching winning streak, are aiming for their 11th consecutive victory as they face the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night.

The Hawks have not accomplished an 11-game winning streak since their record-setting 19-game run back in the 2014-2015 season. Despite facing some lower-ranked teams during this streak, Atlanta has been dominant with their closest game being won by a margin of nine points. This impressive run has propelled them to a tie for the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference standings, trailing fifth place by just 1 1/2 games.

In their recent 124-112 victory over the Orlando Magic, the Hawks were led by Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who set a career-high with 41 points, and Jalen Johnson, who secured his second consecutive triple-double.

Atlanta guard CJ McCollum, inserted into the starting lineup on Feb. 22, has been a key contributor since his trade from Washington, averaging 18.3 points during this stretch.

The Mavericks, on the other hand, have been on a downward trend in the Western Conference, losing 10 of their last 12 games and 20 of their last 24.

Despite their struggles, rookie Cooper Flagg has shown promise for Dallas, averaging 18.9 points since returning from an injury on March 5.

Dallas recently completed a grueling stretch of nine games in nine different cities over a 14-day period, which may have contributed to their fatigue in a 129-111 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.

The Mavericks played without key players Caleb Martinn, Klay Thompson, and Brandon Williams on Monday. Thompson is expected to return, while Williams is doubtful and Martin’s status remains questionable.

Dallas has faced offensive challenges throughout the season, ranking 24th in the NBA with an average of 113.2 points per game.

Although the Mavericks have won four of the last five meetings against the Hawks, Atlanta emerged victorious in their most recent clash on March 10 with Alexander-Walker leading the charge with 29 points.
