The All-Star big man finished with eight points on 3-for-14 shooting on short rest. The Lakers didn’t have a game on Thursday so AD might be back to his usual dominating self.Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu will try to make life difficult for one of the NBA’s best scorers this season.LeBron James vs Jalen JohnsonKing James, playing in his 22nd season, will face the Hawks’ emerging 22-year-old forward. James regained his shooting touch against the Heat, but he will be taking on another athletic player who is a solid defender.Johnson will test James, who often looked gassed late in games. It will be interesting to see how the matchup unfolds, particularly for the Lakers, who are desperate for a win.Trae Young vs D’Angelo RussellWithout Austin Reaves, D’Angelo Russell will have the unenviable task of guarding Trae Young. Atlanta’s offense is heavily reliant on Young’s playmaking and scoring. LA will have a good chance of winning if Russell can slow down Ice Trae. If the opposite happens, the Lakers will be hard-pressed to beat the Hawks.
