The Hawks began using preseason games to experiment with a different lineup and play some of their younger players Friday night in Dallas.
In the fourth exhibition game, the Hawks started a lineup of Jeff Teague, Kyle Korver, Justin Holiday, Al Horford and Tiago Splitter against the Mavericks. Regulars Paul Millsap, Jeff Teague and Kent Bazemore will be held out of the game. Coach Mike Budenholzer will also use the game to see different player rotations.
In the Hawks’ first three exhibition games they started Teague, Korver, Bazemore, Millsap and Horford – close to its likely regular-season lineup.
The Hawks have three more exhibition games after Friday, including a home game against the Heat on Sunday.
