赛季进行了近30场比赛，亚特兰大老鹰队在东部联盟的竞争中正处于白热化阶段。他们是众多战绩相近的球队之一，距离东部第三名仅一个胜场之差。主教练奎因·斯奈德 (Quin Snyder) 的队伍即便在特雷·杨 (Trae Young) 缺阵期间也保持着竞争力，后者自十月以来因膝伤缺阵，已于昨晚在夏洛特的比赛中复出。在他缺席期间，率领老鹰前进的是五年级前锋杰伦·约翰逊 (Jalen Johnson)，这位身高6尺8寸的全能侧翼球员，自从在2021年NBA选秀中以首轮第20顺位被杜克大学选中以来，每个赛季都在进步。
与此同时，圣安东尼奥马刺队则在寻求拿下又一个客场胜利。在维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 和斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle) 因伤缺阵期间，球队的表现令人称道。如今，结束了拉斯维加斯之旅的马刺队阵容齐整，全员健康。他们还有很多工作要做：本赛季联盟中只有7支球队的负场数仍为个位数，而在竞争惨烈的西部联盟，马刺正是这5支球队之一。要保住目前的位置并不容易，但赛季还很长，这支队伍仍有希望达到一个新的高度。

比赛看点
- 杰伦·约翰逊已经成长为亚特兰大一位潜在的建队基石级球员。在特雷·杨缺阵期间，他不仅无缝衔接地扮演了球队头号得分手的角色，同时还是队内的篮板王和助攻王（场均8.2次）。考虑到老鹰队目前以场均30.8次助攻领跑全联盟，他作为助攻王这一点就更令人印象深刻了。特雷·杨最近的回归会对约翰逊的比赛产生何种影响还有待观察，但就进攻火力而言，主教练斯奈德无疑是遇上了一个“幸福的烦恼”。在昨晚不敌夏洛特黄蜂队的比赛中，约翰逊刚刚砍下了生涯新高的43分，此外还抢下11个篮板并送出9次助攻。
- 事实证明，签下尼基尔·亚历山大-沃克 (Nickeil Alexander-Walker) 是一笔出人意料的成功自由球员签约。在为明尼苏达森林狼效力三年并两次随队闯入西部决赛后，亚历山大-沃克来到了亚特兰大，目前他正打出个人职业生涯各项数据最出色的一个赛季。在森林狼的最后两个赛季，他总共只首发了30场比赛，而本赛季由于特雷·杨的受伤，他已经在老鹰队的后场首发了25场中的22场。昨晚的比赛中，亚历山大-沃克再次替补出场，在失利中空砍28分。
- 在圣安东尼奥最后三场锦标赛中一分钟未打之后，杰里米·索汉 (Jeremy Sochan) 在昨晚对阵华盛顿奇才的比赛中重返赛场。就那些已在队中效力多年的球员而言，索汉本赛季在马刺的轮换阵容中有点像个局外人，但他对自己的处境一直保持着良好的职业态度。他未来的上场时间值得我们继续关注。
- 昨晚，维克托·文班亚马连续第三场比赛替补出战，这是马刺队为让他逐步回归轮换阵容而采取的措施。考虑到今晚是一场背靠背的第二场比赛，马刺队宣布他今晚休战，那将是非常符合他们一贯作风的，不是吗？不过，文班亚马在昨晚马刺的胜利中只出场了17分钟，所以也许球队根本不会考虑让他临时缺阵。

Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs at Atlanta Hawks
Nearly 30 games into the season, the Atlanta Hawks find themselves in the thick of things in the Eastern Conference. One of a handful of teams that are bunched together just a game back of the 3rd seed, head coach Quin Snyder’s group has remained competitive even without the services of Trae Young, who made his return last night in Charlotte after being out with a knee injury since October. Leading the charge for Atlanta in his absence has been 5th year forward Jalen Johnson, a versatile 6’8” wing who does a bit of everything and has improved every season since going 20th overall out of Duke in the 2021 NBA Draft.
The San Antonio Spurs meanwhile are looking to notch another road win. After holding it down as admirably as they did while Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle missed time with injuries, San Antonio finds itself healthy and complete coming off of their trip to Vegas. They have plenty of work to do: They’re one of 7 teams in the league this year with single digits in the loss column, but are just 1 of the 5 such teams in the gauntlet that is the Western Conference. It won’t be easy to maintain positioning, but there’s still plenty of basketball left to be played and another level that this squad can hopefully get to.

What to watch for
- Jalen Johnson has emerged as a potential franchise cornerstone-type of player for Atlanta. He’s not only filled the roll of go-to scorer seamlessly in the absence of Trae Young, but he’s also their leading rebounder and assist man (8.2). The latter is all the more impressive considering Atlanta is currently leading the NBA in assists per game (30.8). It remains to be seen what sort of impact Young’s recent return to the court will have on Johnson’s game, but Quinn Snyder certainly has a good problem on his hands as far as offensive firepower goes. Johnson is coming off of a career-high 43 point performance in Atlanta’s loss to the Charlotte Hornets last night, also grabbing 11 rebounds and dishing out 9 assists as well.
- Nickeil Alexander-Walker has turned out to be a sneaky good free agent signing. Alexander-Walker came over to Atlanta after three years and two trips to the Western Conference Finals with the Minnesota Timberwolves and is currently enjoying the best statistical season across the board of his career. After starting just 30 games total the last two seasons with the Timberwolves, he’s already started 22 of 25 games in the Atlanta backcourt due to the injury to Trae Young. Alexander-Walker once again came off the bench last night, scoring 28 in a losing effort.
- After not registering a single minute in any of San Antonio’s final three Cup games, Jeremy Sochan found his way back on the court last night against the Washington Wizards. Sochan has sort of been the odd man out this season in San Antonio’s rotation as far as guys who have been around the team for a few years, but he’s been a good sport about the situation. His playing time is something to monitor going forward.
- Victor Wembanyama came off the bench for the third game in a row last night as the Spurs ease him back into the rotation. With tonight being a SEGABABA, it would be very on-brand for the Spurs to announce he’s out tonight, wouldn’t it? Wembanyama did log just 17 minutes in San Antonio’s win last night, so perhaps there won’t even be a thought of a last minute scratch.
