Atlanta Hawks vs Phoenix Suns: Predicted Starting Lineups
Atlanta Hawks
Trae Young should start as the point guard for the Atlanta Hawks. If Bogdan Bogdanovic does not start the game, the Hawks may give Kevin Huerter a chance in the starting lineup.
With John Collins listed as questionable, Cam Reddish could feature in the frontcourt alongside De'Andre Hunter. Clint Capela, meanwhile, should keep his position at center for the Hawks.
Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns should go ahead with the same lineup they have used in recent games. Chris Paul and Devin Booker will likely spearhead the team from the backcourt.
Mikal Bridges and Jae Crowder could start in the frontcourt for the Suns. Deandre Ayton returned to the starting lineup for the Suns in the game against the Rockets. He was stunning in that game, scoring 16 points to help the Phoenix Suns to a win. The youngster will once again start as center for the Suns in the game against the Hawks.
Threadin' the needle.
