Hawks' Thabo Sefolosha: Starting again Sunday

Sefolosha (elbow) is in the starting lineup at small forward for Sunday's Game 4 against the Cavaliers, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

Sefolosha replaced Kyle Korver in the starting five in Game 3 and he'll get the call again Sunday, despite also dealing with a laceration to his elbow. Coach Mike Budenholzer liked what he saw from Sefolosha in Game 3, as the swingman finished with eight points, four rebounds, two assists and a steal over 29 minutes. With the Hawks on the brink of elimination, Sefolosha will attempt to provide a much-needed defensive boost to the team, as he'll likely be asked to help defend LeBron James for portions of the game.
