Six games feature on Saturday\u2019s slate, including the in-form Atlanta Hawks who look to extend their 11-game winning streak when they travel to Houston.<\/p>\n
The Hawks have been the real deal since the trade deadline and now face a genuine test against the Rockets on the road.<\/p>\n
Atlanta has won 11 straight to surge into the playoff picture, although the quality of opposition during that run has been questionable.<\/p>\n
That said, Houston\u2019s recent dip has been notable, coming off back-to-back home losses to the Lakers. It doesn\u2019t get any easier here against the hottest team in the league.<\/p>\n
Daniels is averaging 6.7 rebounds per game this season, but his numbers have lifted since CJ McCollum joined the Hawks, with Daniels shifting into more of a small forward role.<\/p>\n
In lineups featuring McCollum, Okongwu and Jalen Johnson, Daniels is averaging 7.3 rebounds across a 21-game sample, hitting 6+ in 18 of those, including his last 11.<\/p>\n
There were some early teething issues following McCollum\u2019s arrival, but the move has quickly paid off.<\/p>\n
Since February 12, the Hawks are 12-1 with the best net rating in the NBA, with McCollum playing a key role.<\/p>\n
Across his last 15 games, he\u2019s averaging 19.4 points and has cleared 15+ in 11 of those.<\/p>\n
Alexander-Walker is a genuine Most Improved Player contender at a strong price, and his recent form backs it up.<\/p>\n
Since January 26, he\u2019s averaging 20.5 points per game and has hit 15+ in 18 of 21 games.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s taken it to another level recently, averaging 25.3 points across his last seven.<\/p>\n
