Atlanta Hawks Reveal Starting Lineup For Tonight's Game vs the Pistons

Atlanta hopes to extend the Pistons long losing streak tonight

The Hawks have just revealed their starting lineup for tonight's game vs the Pistons. 

After the team cleared De'Andre Hunter and Clint Capela to play, it became pretty clear what the starting lineup was going to be for the Hawks. 

Trae Young, Dejounte Murray, Hunter, Saddiq Bey, and Capela are going to start for the Hawks tonight. 

Bogdan Bogdanovic is going to be out for this game tonight. He is not going to be easy to replace but they are facing one of the worst teams in recent NBA history. 

The Pistons are starting Ausar Thompson, Bojan Bogdanovic, Marvin Bagley, Jaden Ivey, and Cade Cunningham. 

Young has been on an absolute tear through the NBA for the past couple of weeks and he should be able to do what he wants tonight against one of the worst defenses in the NBA. Young has scored at least 35 points in three straight games and has been shooting the ball well. Despite the Hawks record, he is making a strong case to be an All-Star this season. Young did not play in the first matchup between these two teams earlier this season.
