The Hawks are entering the 2024-25 season with a renewed focus on retooling their roster after a disappointing 36-46 record and missing the playoffs. Without Trae Young for 28 games last season, the team struggled to find an offensive identity and ultimately traded Dejounte Murray to the Pelicans. Despite the challenges, Jalen Johnson made strides, and Atlanta landed the No. 1 overall pick. They selected Zaccharie Risacher, a talented French forward with the potential to impact both ends of the floor.
This offseason, the Hawks added key role players like Larry Nance Jr., Cody Zeller, and Dyson Daniels to improve their roster depth, particularly defensively. Still, losing Murray leaves a void in the backcourt, with the team relying heavily on Young’s offensive prowess and Hunter’s development. Hunter’s inconsistent performance since his rookie extension remains a question mark for the team, making his future a potential storyline heading into the season.
Atlanta’s ceiling will depend on how quickly Risacher can adjust to the NBA and whether their core of Young, Johnson, and Hunter can carry the team through the season. The Hawks are projected to be a Play-In Tournament contender, with questions lingering about their overall competitiveness in the tough Eastern Conference.
DraftKings Sportsbook gives the Hawks +90000 odds to win the NBA Finals, +16000 odds to win the Eastern Conference, and +90000 odds for the most regular-season wins. Their regular-season win total is set at 36.5, with -105 odds for the over and -115 for the under. Atlanta is favored to participate in the Play-In Tournament at -240, with +170 odds to make the playoffs and -210 to miss them.
