Dellavedova will start Game 2 on Friday against the Hawks, Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon-Journal reports.

Analysis:

Dellavedova saw much of the action when Irving sat during Game 1, so it's not a big surprise that he'll receive the start Friday. He also figures to see the biggest boost in Irving's absence, with J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert also figuring to see boosted minutes in the backcourt.
