The Atlanta Hawks are set to face the Los Angeles Clippers tonight, with both teams announcing their starting lineups. The Hawks will feature Trae Young, Dyson Daniels, Zaccharie Risacher, Vit Krejci, and Clint Capela, while the Clippers will start James Harden, Kris Dunn, Kawhi Leonard, Norm Powell, and Ivica Zubac.
Currently, the Hawks rank 6th in points per game but struggle defensively, sitting 27th in points allowed. In contrast, the Clippers excel on defense, ranking 5th in points allowed, yet their offense is lacking, placing 24th in points per game. Key matchups include Harden against Daniels and Young facing Dunn, both of whom will look to exploit their opponents' turnover issues.
