How to Watch Atlanta Hawks at LA Clippers: Stream NBA Live, TV Channel

Kawhi Leonard is expected to make his season debut as the Los Angeles Clippers host Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks.

Heading into the first game of the season between the Atlanta Hawks (18-17) and the Los Angeles Clippers (19-15) both teams are looking to shake off back-to-back losses. Los Angeles could have a huge boost of energy as Kawhi Leonard is expected to make his season debut here. Leonard has not played since game three of Los Angeles’ playoff loss to the Phoenix Suns back in April. Despite Leonard missing the teams first 34 games Los Angeles has been one of the surprises of the season. They are a half-game out of the lead in the Pacific Division led by the fifth best scoring defense in the league. Leonard is the missing piece for this Los Angeles team to become a real contender in the Western Conference.

Last season Leonard showed flashes of being an MVP candidate before injuries took him out of consideration. He finished the season averaging 23.7 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game on 52-42-88 shooting splits.

This season Los Angeles has been anchored and kept its head above water with the play of James Harden, Norman Powell and Ivica Zubac. That trio has done just enough on the offensive end to make Los Angeles competitive around one of the best defenses in the league this season.

Atlanta is trying to bounce back from back-to-back losses here on the road and spoil Leonard’s season debut. Trae Young has scored 30 or more points in three straight games, but the team has not found success in those games. Atlanta is just 4-5 in the nine games Young has scored 30-plus points.
