Atlanta’s offense meets a defensive opening

The Hawks are 7-6 overall and 4-3 on the road, averaging 118.2 points and 31.5 assists per game. Nickeil Alexander-Walker leads them at 21.5 points per game, while Jalen Johnson averages 7.5 assists. That combination gives Atlanta multiple ways to create offense, though its defense allows 116.8 points per game.

Atlanta’s latest outing ended in a 125-117 loss at Chicago, following a 124-114 home defeat to the Lakers. Those results interrupted wins over Brooklyn, Washington and Washington again, a stretch in which the Hawks scored 124, 139 and 120 points. The scoring has remained lively, but allowing 125 to Chicago after giving up 124 to the Lakers shows why Atlanta cannot rely on offense alone. Its 120-105 win at Washington also offers a clearer example of how much easier the job becomes when it limits the other team’s scoring.

Milwaukee searches for a scoring response

Milwaukee enters 1-12 overall and 1-6 at home, averaging 106.2 points while allowing 120.2 per game. Tyler Herro leads the Bucks with 21.6 points and 4.3 assists per game. Milwaukee’s 43 percent field-goal shooting and 24.8 assists per game leave it needing more consistent production across the offense.

The Bucks have lost each of their five listed completed games, with the latest a 107-99 defeat at Orlando. Their home losses to the Lakers, Celtics and Raptors brought 112, 97 and 107 points, respectively, without a win. The 117-85 loss at New York was their lowest-scoring game in this stretch. Even when Milwaukee kept Orlando to 107 points, it could not score enough to take advantage. That makes the offensive end the immediate concern: a better defensive night would help, but the recent results show it may not be sufficient.
