With no starters listed on the latest injury report, the Pelicans will be whole outside of Kira Lewis Jr. and E.J. Liddell when they take the floor against the Hawks.
That’s good news because the starting lineup of CJ McCollum, Herb Jones, Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson and Jonas Valanciunas has been a force.
The group has posted a +28.4 net rating through 40 minutes of action, featuring a dominant offense (120.2 ORTG) and suffocating defense (91.9 DRTG). They own the glass (59.6 rebounding percentage) and avoid turnovers well (11.9 turnover percentage).
For those wondering, Atlanta’s starting group has been good but not elite.
