After dominating the Clippers the night before, the Hawks continue their back-to-back in Los Angeles today against the Lakers. 
Once it was evident that LeBron James and Anthony Davis could participate, it was simple to choose the starting lineups.
Dejounte Murray, Vit Krejci, Jalen Johnson, Clint Capela, and Bogdan Bogdanovic continued to start for Atlanta.
LeBron James, Rui Hachimura, Anthony Davis, D’Angelo Russell, and Austin Reaves comprise the starting lineup for the Lakers.
The Hawks’ unexpected performance against the Clippers Friday night came after defeats to Portland and Utah.
Against the Clippers, the Hawks’ offense was highly effective because Dejounte Murray didn’t have to attempt many shots.
Although Murray has been the center of attention for the offense and has been scoring thirty to forty points a game, this has not been the most effective way to manage the offense. Murray led the team in scoring Friday night’s victory over the Clippers with 21 points and 10 assists.
The level of difficulty of the Laker defense will vary based on whether Davis plays or not.
Last night, Bogdanovic scored 11 points in a fantastic second quarter, but that was the end of his game. Apart from the second quarter, he did not contribute much and departed the game late. Observe his situation.
With Bey out, Vit Krejci is still starting for the Hawks. During his tenure as a starter, Krejci has improved as a defender and is shooting 30% (4–13) from three.
While De’Andre Hunter, who is performing brilliantly, splits time with Krejci, not much is expected of him.
