The Atlanta Hawks and Washington Wizards face off on Thursday night, as the 2016-2017 NBA season begins for both squads. While the league has been up and running for two days, both of these Southeast Division rivals were forced (by the schedule) to wait on pins and needles and, in short, it will be good to have basketball back.
Mike Budenholzer's team is at relatively full strength for this game (even without Tiago Splitter and Mike Scott) and the same can be said for the Wizards. Stay tuned throughout the night and, before we get started, here are the starting lineups for the game:
Hawks
PG - Dennis Schröder
SG - Kyle Korver
SF - Kent Bazemore
PF - Paul Millsap
C- Dwight Howard
PG - John Wall
SG - Bradley Beal
SF - Otto Porter
PF - Markieff Morris
C - Marcin Gortat
