PREVIEW: The Atlanta Hawks (20-25) will try to stop a four-game losing streak when visiting the Memphis Grizzlies (18-23) on January 21, 2026 at FedExForum. Atlanta's offensive prowess is undeniable, averaging 117.5 points per game and leading the NBA with 31 assists per contest through exceptional ball movement. However, the Hawks struggle defensively, allowing 119 points per game and ranking 25th in the league, often vulnerable to penetration and second-chance opportunities. The Hawks' ShotQuality profile reveals elite spacing and passing (both ranked 1st), paired with quick tempo (2nd) and strong defensive rebounding (4th), though their offensive rebounding lags at just 23.5 percent. Memphis enters this matchup with momentum issues of their own but showed improvement in their recent win. The Grizzlies dropped seven of their last ten games before showing signs of life with a convincing victory over Orlando that displayed one of their most complete efforts in weeks, especially defensively and in transition. Where Memphis excels is on the boards, averaging 46.3 rebounds per game and ranking fourth in the league, often converting that advantage into extra possessions. The Grizzlies' ShotQuality strengths center on high-frequency post-ups (2nd rank) and limiting rim attempts allowed (3rd), though they struggle with a weak attacking rim frequency (27th) and allowing too many three-point attempts (25th).
