Still crazy early…but 15% in to the season…
* Washington all alone atop the East (8-3)
* Cleveland (hosting the C’s tonight) is 4th (8-5)
* Neither Milwaukee (NBA champs) or Atlanta (ECF) are in the East top 10
(and the Lakers about to drop to 7-6 despite 10 of 13 at home) – 12:36 AM

The Hawks entered their West Coast road trip with the goal of going at least .500, but went 0-4. They’ve got a five-game homestand coming up:

The good news is the Hawks have a five-game homestand coming up, beginning with Milwaukee on Sunday. After that, it’s Orlando, Boston, Charlotte and Oklahoma City.
Hawks are 1-8 on the road. Only win was a 3-point win over a dreadful Pelicans team. – 12:09 AM

Pretty similar vibe to how last season started for the Hawks, which is that they aren’t very fun to watch as a whole. Trae has been great. John has been great. That’s it. Perhaps it’ll change as the season progresses like it did last year, but that’s where things stand right now. – 11:47 PM

Another stellar defensive effort from the #Nuggets tonight. The key was stopping the Hawks from hitting them up in transition, which was happening in the first half. Once the Nuggets shut that off & made ATL have to execute in the half court, they took control & won comfortably. – 11:24 PM

Better stretch there by the Hawks, capped by Trae Young finding John Collins for an open 3.

Hawks coach Nate McMillan just said De’Andre Hunter, who was questionable for tonight’s game against the Nuggets with a right wrist sprain, will play. Bogdan Bogdanovic will be a game-time decision with ankle soreness, McMillan said. – 7:37 PM

Zeke Nnaji was great on both ends of the floor Wednesday, but that won’t get him in the regular rotation as of right now. Michael Malone indicated pregame he’s still rolling with Jeff and JaMychal Green as his two primary backup bigs with Nikola Jokic back tonight. – 7:36 PM

Per Jason Kidd in his pregame chat, Mavericks may have missed it by a couple days on Maxi Kleber’s return. Should have info for us on Monday. Reading the tea leaves, sounds like he could return against Denver. If not then, certainly on the four-game trip west. – 7:28 PM

Michael Malone on Aaron Gordon:
“I think he’s an All-NBA defensive player…I don’t care which game you look at. Aaron Gordon’s defensive presence and effectiveness has been outstanding.” – 7:22 PM

Ime Udoka says Jaylen Brown will join the Celtics on their road trip but it’s too early to tell if he could return in time for the game in Atlanta later in the week. He’s traveling to keep getting treatment and be around the players and coaches. – 5:46 PM

Nikola Jokic is back for the Nuggets as they welcome in the Hawks on Friday night. Will battling the reigning MVP inspire Atlanta into playing some defense to avoid a 6th straight loss and winless road trip?

The only elite guard-center PnR combos they’ve faced so far (Phoenix, Utah, Memphis) have been the games they’ve given up the easiest shots IMO. – 4:39 PM
