Injuries and projected starting lineups:

Hawks projected starting lineup:

Atlanta has one of the deepest rosters in the association. Last year that proved beneficial because other players were available to step in. This year part of the Hawks’ early struggles can be tied back to having too many assets and finding them all touches.

  • Trae Young  – point guard
  • Bogdan Bogdanovic – shooting guard
  • Kevin Huerter- small forward
  • John Collins – power forward
  • Clint Capela – center

Hawks injuries:

  • DeAndre Hunter underwent wrist surgery and is projected to miss up to eight weeks.
  • Onyeka Okongwu (shoulder) remains out with no definitive return date

OKC Thunder injuries:

  • No Thunder players are listed as out for Monday, November 21st but as we’ve seen in past games Daigneault may elect to rest Derrick Favors.

History:

All-Time the Hawks and Thunder have faced each other 137 times with OKC holding the advantage winning on 69 occasions.

Last year the clubs played the typical two times for opposite coast teams with the OKC Thunder winning the match on their home court and the Hawks returning the favor.
