The Atlanta Hawks have been the 3rd-least aggressive offense in the NBA this year when it comes to three-point attempts.The matchup against the Mavericks is a tough one; they have allowed the 7th-least points per game in the league to opposing starting Cs this year (13.2).The matchup vs. Dwight Powell is a tough one for shots from behind the three-point arc; when matched up against fellow starting Cs this year, they have converted a measly 26.9% of their 3-pointers (20th percentile).The Mavericks have played at the least up-tempo pace-of-play in the league while traveling this year, which should decrease opportunities for the Hawks.Away from home, the Mavericks have given up the 2nd-most offensive rebounds per game (13.2) in the league to opposing squads over the last 5 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to additional chances for scoring and assists).
