The Dallas Mavericks have gotten younger over the last couple of seasons as they put in place a plan to turn their roster over to the next generation. They’ve won their last two after dropping their season opener to another young team in Phoenix.

Rookie Luka Doncic leads the team in scoring averaging 18.3 PPG.

The Atlanta Hawks have taken the youth movement to a whole other level and they were rewarded with their first win of the season in their last game. The Hawks dropped their first two games and then beat Cleveland 133-111 on Sunday.

Rookie Trae Young is leading the Hawks in scoring averaging 23.0 PPG

The points have been coming fast and furious in both of these teams’ games with Dallas averaging 118.3 PPG in the early going and allowing 122.0

Atlanta is averaging 119.0 and allowing 122.7 PPG
