The NBA posts the starting lineups and inactive players near tip-off; they will show here.
From the NBA’s player tracking when they met last season: each scorer against the defender who guarded him most, compared with how he scored against everyone else. Most scorers score less against whoever guards them most, about three quarters of their rate against everyone else, so a gap like that is the usual one.
Regular season: Hawks, 2-1
