LA Lakers vs. Atlanta Hawks: Key matchups

LeBron James and Anthony Davis vs. the Hawks defense

LeBron James is listed as day-to-day but is expected to suit up. James and Anthony Davis lead the Lakers and much depends on their performance if LA is to get back on the win column. If the duo play, they might have it easy against a fairly susceptible Hawks defense.

The Hawks defense is tied for the worst team defensive rating at 120.9 points. Atlanta will find it especially difficult in containing James and Davis from driving to the basket. If the game goes down to the wire, James and Davis might end up going to the basket at will.

Trae Young vs. the Lakers guards

The LA Lakers have a respectable team defensive rating of 114.9 but it is definitely not because of their guards. D'Angelo Russell has often been criticized for his defensive liabilities. When he goes up against Trae Young on Tuesday, the Lakers guard will have his work cut out.

Austin Reaves is not the greatest of defenders but he can hold his own in most situations. Young, however, is a maestro in playmaking and is expected to take advantage of his matchups to score or set his teammates up for easy buckets.
