ROTATION: Starters -- Point guard Mike Bibby, Shooting guard Joe Johnson, Small forward Marvin Williams, Power forward Josh Smith, Center Al Horford. Bench -- Guard Flip Murray, Guard Acie Law IV, Guard Mario West, Guard Mo Evans, Guard Speedy Claxton, Forward Thomas Gardner, Forward Othello Hunter, Forward Solomon Jones, Forward/Center Zaza Pachulia, Center Randolph Morris.
PLAYER NOTES: --F Solomon Jones has played fantastic ball for the Hawks when called upon this season, but he's seems to have fallen out of the rotation as of late. He didn't scratch against the Heat. But he might be needed against the Cavs and their towering front line rotation.
--G Mike Bibby better take some extra tea with lemon or something if he plans on shedding the virus that has cost him dearly in his last two appearances. Bibby simply needs to get rested and healed up before returning to action.
--F Marvin Williams cooled off considerably from his last performance, an explosive performance in a loss at Denver. He'll need all his energy Sunday with LeBron James coming to town. Williams will be the primary defender assigned to cover "King James".
MEDICAL WATCH:
--G Speedy Claxton remains on the inactive list with a hamstring injury and doesn't appear to be in the Hawks' plans anytime soon.
