## Resource

The Atlanta Hawks are flying under the radar but soaring in potential, with Bleacher Report calling them dark horse contenders for the top seed in the East. After a loaded offseason that brought in key pieces and solidified a new backcourt, they’re banking on Jalen Johnson’s breakout season — especially his shooting — to elevate them from playoff sixth seed to elite contender. With a top-tier defense, young talent, and veteran savvy, the Hawks feel ready to challenge the East’s best, proving that star power isn’t everything when you’ve got grit, growth, and a game-changing point guard.
