Trail Blazers Analysis: They’ve lost 7 straight games
The Blazers have now dropped 7 straight games, and for the duration of that run, they have been without their best players. Anfernee Simons, Jerami Grant, Deandre Ayton, Malcolm Brogdon, Shaedon Sharpe, Matisse Thybulle, and Robert Williams III were all sidelined with injuries against the Rockets. If they were all healthy, the starting lineup actually could be their seven-man rotation. The only players whose injuries are severe enough to prevent them from playing in numerous games are Sharpe, Brogdon, and Williams. For the past few games, Portland has started an all-rookie lineup. Dalano Banton led them with 28 points off the bench in their most recent game, a defeat to Houston.
Hawks Analysis: On a 2-game winning run
On Monday, Atlanta overcame a 30-point hole to defeat the Boston Celtics 120-118 at home, pulling off the largest comeback victory of the 2023–24 campaign. With nine seconds left, De’Andre Hunter made a dagger three, good for a team-high 24 points, to put an end to Boston’s 9-game winning streak and secure Atlanta’s victory. The Hawks are hoping that their incredible victory over the giants would motivate them to close the regular season well in order to advance to the play-in round. Atlanta trails the 8th-place Sixers by 6.5 games, but leads the 11th-place Nets by 5.5 games. Atlanta will be forced into 9h or tenth place unless they have an almost flawless finish. To advance to the postseason, they will need to go a perfect 2-0 in the play-tournament.
