AUSTIN, Texas (Interstat) — The surging Austin Spurs, boasting the G League’s second-best record, will face the struggling College Park Skyhawks in a matchup of teams at opposite ends of the standings on Tuesday night at Gateway Center in Atlanta.

Austin (31-13) enters on a strong run, having won eight of its last ten games despite a narrow 106-104 home loss to Stockton on Sunday. The Spurs are powered by veteran guard Elfrid Payton, who has recorded three double-doubles in his last five outings. In a March 12 win over Texas, Payton posted 16 points and 10 assists in just 24 minutes, exemplifying his efficient playmaking.

The College Park Skyhawks (13-29) have the league’s worst record but are coming off a dramatic 127-126 overtime victory at Windy City on March 10. That win was fueled by a historic triple-double from point guard RayJ Dennis, who compiled 20 points, 12 rebounds and 15 assists. Dennis has been a bright spot, averaging 21.4 points and 11.4 assists over his last seven games.

The teams’ seasons have followed divergent paths. Austin’s consistency is reflected in a net rating of +5.8, while College Park’s defensive struggles have led to a net rating of -8.9, ranking last in the league. The Skyhawks have allowed 130 or more points in seven of their last thirteen games.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a lopsided affair, favoring Austin 123-100. The model cites Austin’s top-five efficiency in both offense and defense, contrasting sharply with College Park’s last-ranked defense.

For Austin, the game begins a three-game road trip before returning home next week. College Park continues a heavy stretch of road games, with this being the first of six in their next seven contests.

Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, March 17, 2026.
