The Hawks will deploy a different starting lineup for Game 3, as Paul Millsap will not start due to flu-like symptoms.
"Same starters as usual" has become a running joke surrounding the Atlanta Hawks, as Mike Budenholzer deploys the same five players for each game, provided that the quintet is healthy. For Game 3, however, Budenholzer has been forced to alter that plan, as Paul Millsap will not start due to flu-like symptoms.
Paul Millsap will not start, flu-like symptoms..Pero starts in his place. Millsap is available to play #Hawks

It is important to note that Millsap is still expected to play, though it is unclear what his workload will be.
