The Atlanta Hawks (6-7) are starting to put it together and find the right mix on the court. They have won back-to-back games for the first time since the first two games of the season. They are one win away from getting back to .500 behind the play of Atlanta’s supporting stars around All-Star Trae Young. The trio of Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels and number overall pick Zaccharie Risacher are playing great basketball, with or without Young in the lineup. The Portland Trail Blazers (5-8) also come in playing their best basketball of the season with back-to-back wins. With Shaedon Sharpe and Robert Williams healthy and back in the lineup, Portland has the talent to be a feisty team in the Western Conference.

Those back-to-back wins came against the Minnesota Timberwolves and coincided with the return of Sharpe and Williams, as well as rookie Donovan Clingan stepping into the starting lineup.
For Atlanta this season the emergence of Daniels and the continued growth of Johnson have given the team more balance around Young. This season Atlanta is just 2-4 when Young leads the team in scoring and 4-3 when another player leads the team in scoring. All three of Johnson, Daniels and Risacher have taken turns leading the team in scoring at least once this season.
Through 13 games Johnson is averaging 19.0 points, 10.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game while Daniels is playing elite defense adding 14.3 points per game. That balance takes the pressure off of Young allowing him to be a playmaker, dynamic shooter and closer.
