After an impressive rookie season with the Atlanta Hawks, John Collins took his game to another level as he is averaging career-high numbers in all the five statistical categories for a double-double.

Collins powered the Hawks to victory against the Cleveland Cavaliers by posting a double-double only few nights before. Against the Pacers, the 21-year-old was once again the center of attraction as he scored 22 points and snagged 16 rebounds for his 6th straight double-double.

The 20-year-old Rookie Kevin Huerter was selected by the Hawks with the 19th overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft. He scored season-high 22 points against the Pacers on a 6-for-9 hot shooting from behind the arc. Huerter received 40 minutes of playing time which is a season-high for the rookie. This is the first time he has scored over 20 points in this season.
