Jalen Johnson struggled, and Atlanta failed to take advantage when New York's Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns were on the bench.

Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies' strong offensive production has given Atlanta consistency from a switch hitter it hasn't had in recent seasons. He's batting .288.

The Dream immediately got better with the addition of Angel Reese. But both she and the team itself will be under more pressure to win than ever.

The Braves have good vibes again.

Linebacker James Pearce Jr. isn't at offseason workouts as he faces three felonies. Players have shown support for their "brother," and the team may face a tough decision.

‘It’s good for us to be battle-tested headed for the postseason,’ guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker says.

Braves slugger Drake Baldwin does ‘small ball,’ too; Atlanta United has emotional issues.

It’s safe to say the Hawks will finish among the East’s top six teams to qualify for the playoffs. The chances of them winning a series will depend largely on the opponent.

Braves pitching is the reason for the team's good start, but catcher Drake Baldwin has been carrying the team offensively so far.
