The Atlanta Hawks came into the season surrounded with low expectations for wins, and high expectations for draft picks.
However, with their young roster playing better than expected, especially down the stretch, this Hawks team played themselves out of the best lottery odds. In fact, according to The Action Network, they are the only team in the bottom spectrum of teams that are comfortably over the Over/under win total that were set at the season’s start.
They didn’t fall too far although. With the Mavericks win on Sunday afternoon, the Atlanta Hawks found themselves locked into the 5th spot, unable to move regardless of their final two outcomes.
