Beginning with a March 11 date in Tampa against the Toronto Raptors, the Atlanta Hawks have 36 games remaining in the 2020-21 NBA season. Though the schedule originally included 37 games before the midseason All-Star break, one postponement swung things into balance for Trae Young and company, and the Hawks entered the break with a 16-20 record.
The First Half of the season was marred by injury, and the Hawks also made a significant change just two games before the break, parting ways with Lloyd Pierce and installing Nate McMillan as the interim head coach. From there, myriad storylines exist, ranging from De’Andre Hunter’s breakout (and subsequent injury return timeline) to John Collins’ future, the upcoming trade deadline, the development of young pieces, the integration of veterans as they round into form, and much more.
