On Cleaning the glassAtlanta is 13th in points per 100 possessions, 14th in effective field goal percentage, 21st in turnover percentage, 18th in offensive rebounding percentage and No. 1 in free throw rate. It’s been a good start to the season offensively for the Hawks, but there are clear ways to improve.

The Hawks have an odd defensive profile. They’ve shown growth on that end of the floor and improved in zones, but three points kill the Hawks. Atlanta is 28th in PPG allowed, 8th (!!) in field goal percentage allowed, 30th in 3PA allowed and 30th in 3P% allowed. On Cleaning the Glass, the Hawks rank 24th in points allowed per 100 possessions, 21st in effective field goal percentage, 10th in turnover percentage, 22nd in offensive rebounding allowed and 20th in rate of free throws allowed.

On Cleaning the Glass, Washington is 25th in points per 100 possessions, 22nd in effective field goal percentage, 22nd in turnover percentage, 15th in offensive rebounding percentage and 22nd in scoring rate of free throws.

The defensive end of the floor is not good for the Wizards. Washington is 30th in PPG allowed, 30th in field goal percentage allowed, 25th in 3PA allowed, 28th in 3PA allowed and 28th in 3P% allowed. According to Glass Cleaning, the Wizards rank 30th in points allowed per 100 possessions and 30th in actual field goal percentage.

With Kuzma out, the Wizards will have to rely on Jordan Poole, Corey Kispert, Bub Carrington and others to do the scoring and try to take advantage of the Hawks’ three-point defense.
