Washington Wizards vs Atlanta Hawks: Injury report, predicted lineups and starting 5s - May 12th, 2021 | NBA Season 2020-21

The Washington Wizards and the Atlanta Hawks will play the second game of their NBA double-header at the State Farm Arena on Wednesday. The Washington Wizards have seen a late-season revival. They are now 10th in the Eastern Conference and set for a place in the Play-In tournament. They will now look to finish the season strongly and get quick revenge for their 1-point loss against the Hawks in their last NBA game.

The Atlanta Hawks, on the other hand, have lost just once in their last five matches and have been boosted by the return from injury of their star man Trae Young. John Collins has produced at least 25 points in the last two games and will be looking to extend his prolific run.

Washington Wizards

The Washington Wizards’ biggest loss is Bradley Beal, whose presence might well have resulted in a victory last time around. Raul Neto should start alongside Westbrook while Alex Len takes up the Center spot again. Garrison Mathews should get another start due to Beal’s absence.

Atlanta Hawks

The Atlanta Hawks have almost all of their stars available, and should stick to the same lineup as the last match. Trae Young and Bogdan Bogdanovic should be the starting guards again, while Clint Capela has been in impressive form as well. John Collins is fit and firing and should start alongside Kevin Huerter.

He is unstoppable! @traeyoung with 36 PTS, 9 AST & 6 REB last night against the Wizards. ❄️ 🎥Presented by @KumhoTireUSA pic.twitter.com/a1dgyDtLhH
