Season Profile Comparison: Washington Wizards vs Atlanta Hawks

Instead of one big grid, the profile is grouped into four categories with a quick read for each. The important part is whether the two key stats agree—or whether the matchup is a trade between different ways to win.

Record & Scoring

Atlanta Hawks owns the two drivers in this section: win% (58.5) and point margin (2.4). If Washington Wizards wants to erase that profile, it often comes down to one big scoring swing—threes, free throws, or a burst of transition points.

Metric Washington Wizards Atlanta Hawks
Record (W-L) 17-65 46-36
Win Percentage 14.6 58.5
Points For 112.9 118.5
Points Against 124.9 116
Points Margin -12 2.4

Efficiency

Atlanta Hawks leads on shooting efficiency (111.6) and field goal efficiency (55.4), and that combination often reduces volatility. If the game slows, those efficiency edges can become louder because each possession carries more weight.

Metric Washington Wizards Atlanta Hawks
Field Goal % 0.7 0.7
Three-Point % 0.2 0.2
Shooting Efficiency 110.4 111.6
Field Goal Efficiency 53.5 55.4
Free Throw Rate 0.2 0.2
Three-Point Rate 0.4 0.4
Free Throw % 0.8 0.8

Tempo, Ratings & Turnovers

Atlanta Hawks owns the better net rating (2.3) and the cleaner turnover profile (13.4), which is a strong “structure” advantage. If Washington Wizards can’t create extra possessions through pressure, the rating edge is more likely to hold.

Metric Washington Wizards Atlanta Hawks
Pace 104 104.2
Net Rating -11.4 2.3
Offensive Rating 108.2 113.2
Defensive Rating 119.6 111
Turnovers Per Game 15.1 13.4

Rebounding, Ball Movement & Disruption

Offensive rebounds and steals are close (0.2 vs 0.2, 8 vs 9.4), so this category often comes down to which team strings together clean possessions. When the extra-possession levers are even, a couple loose-ball plays can decide the margin.

Metric Washington Wizards Atlanta Hawks
Rebounds Per Game 41.9 43.5
Offensive Rebounds 0.2 0.2
Defensive Rebounds 0.7 0.7
Assists Per Game 25 30.1
Assist Rate 59.9 69.1
Steals Per Game 8 9.4
