The Dallas Mavericks travel East Wednesday night to take on the Atlanta Hawks.
Dallas enters this contest on the outside of the Western Conference picture looking in, but within striking distance of the eighth seed. It sits in 11th currently, but it’s just two games out of eighth.
Atlanta, on the other hand, sits comfortably in the fifth seed out East. It is 2.5 games ahead of the No. 6 Indiana Pacers and two games ahead of the No. 4 Washington Wizards.

Dallas Mavericks
The Dallas Mavericks are officially building for the future.
At the trade deadline, this team sent out Andrew Bogut’s aging body and expiring contract to the Philadelphia 76ers for young center Nerlens Noel. It also waived veteran point guard Deron Williams with both Seth Curry and Yogi Ferrell taking command of the backcourt.
Noel will have quite the test on his hands in this one against Dwight Howard.

The Atlanta big man isn’t what he once was, but he’s still a player who can defend the rim (less important in this matchup considering Noel isn’t yet an offensive option) and collect rebounds/put-backs on the other end (more important in this matchup considering Noel is advertised as a defensive stalwart.
Look for how well Noel can contain Howard as an indicator of how well the Mavs are playing.
The guard matchup is also going to be important considering Dennis Schroeder can slice and dice good defenses — Dallas’ defense is about as bad as it comes and the backcourt is part of the reason why.
Atlanta Hawks
The Hawks don’t have to worry about Noel’s offense, with the only exception being pick-and-roll lobs to the rim — something the youngster hasn’t fully developed despite his excellent athleticism.
That’s going to clear up Dwight Howard to take it easy on the less glamorous side of the court and focus more on putting the ball in the basket.

He could very well end up with a double-double in this one resembling the Howard of old — not the old Howard.
On the season, the Hawks are averaging 103.4 points per game. That number is only good enough for 20th in the league, but we should see more out of them in this one against a struggling defensive Mavericks squad.
