14. Atlanta Hawks (11-11)

Last Week: 1-1
Previous Ranking: 15

Schroeder Jamming By Design: Rookie point guard Dennis Schroeder was sent to the D-League’s Bakersfield Jam so he could find some minutes. With coach Mike Budenholzer using Shelvin Mack and Louis Williams as the second unit in the backcourt, there weren’t any minutes left for the German rookie. There was no timeline given on how long Schroeder would be in Bakersfield, where he is playing with Jared Cunningham, sent to Bakersfield by the Hawks last month.

The Week That Was: The Hawks beat the Cavaliers 108-89 on Friday and lost to the Thunder 101-92 on Tuesday.
