Golden State Warriors vs. Atlanta Hawks key matchups

Traditionally, the Warriors and Hawks matchup would see Steph Curry and Trae Young match up. With Young sidelined, however, that won't be the case. Instead, much of the ballhandling duties and offensive load will be handled by Curry and Dejounte Murray.

With the two players being prolific scorers, the matchup should produce fireworks. At the same time, in the paint, Draymond Green and Kevon Looney will look to shut down Clint Capela's dominant paint game.

The game is set to tip off from Golden State at 7 p.m. Pacific Time and 10 p.m. Eastern Time. In addition, it will stream on NBA League Pass, NBC Sports Bay Area and Bally Sports Southeast.
