Less than a week remains in the regular season, with some huge matchups on the slate. The Hawks head to Cleveland in what could be a first-round playoff preview, while Minnesota faces Orlando.<\/p>\n
This is a fascinating matchup. The Hawks and Cavs meet here, then again in Atlanta two days later, and there\u2019s every chance this turns into a first-round playoff series.<\/p>\n
The Cavs may be content finishing fourth, potentially setting up a second-round clash with Detroit rather than Boston. As for Atlanta, it\u2019s tight between the five and nine seeds, so they\u2019ll be desperate to keep winning and avoid the play-in.<\/p>\n
Johnson may have taken a slight step back offensively behind Alexander-Walker, but his all-round production remains elite.<\/p>\n
He is averaging a PRA of 40.4 across his last 14 games, despite only clearing this line once in his last four.<\/p>\n
The matchup is strong. Cleveland concede points to power forwards 13% above average over the last month, along with a slight bump in assists. In two games against the Cavs this season, Johnson has averaged 26 points, 12.5 rebounds and 8.5 assists.<\/p>\n
Daniels has been posting strong rebounding numbers while playing more as a small forward alongside Alexander-Walker and McCollum.<\/p>\n
Since the All-Star break, he is averaging 7.7 rebounds per game and has recorded 6+ rebounds in 16 of 21 games.<\/p>\n
He pulled down eight rebounds the last time he faced Cleveland.<\/p>\n
This is a low line for Allen given his recent output.<\/p>\n
He is averaging 10 rebounds per game across the six games he\u2019s played alongside Harden, Mitchell and Mobley, recording double-digit rebounds in five of those.<\/p>\n
Across his last 17 games, Allen is averaging 10.1 rebounds and has hit 6+ in 15 of them.<\/p>\n
