NBA Power Rankings: Heavy’s Top 10 for January 24


7. Atlanta


Record: 26-19


Last week: 9th


While the Hawks haven't been great on the defensive glass, ranking 17th in defensive rebounding percentage, they are third in the NBA in turnover percentage and fourth in defensive free throw rate. Simply put, Mike Budenholzer's team has managed to create extra scoring opportunities without fouling, which is key given the fact that they're in the lower third of the NBA in offensive rating (23rd). And in power forward Paul Millsap, the Hawks have an All-Star candidate who seems to be overlooked by some when it comes to the season that he's having. (Getty)
