Sefolosha will likely remain in the starting lineup for Game 4 against Cleveland, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

The Hawks inserted Sefolosha in place of Kyle Korver in Game 3, and while they led for most of the game, they were unable to overcome a late Cavs and ultimately fell 121-108. Sefolosha played 29 minutes, finishing with eight points while helping to defend LeBron James for much of the night. Coach Mike Budenholzer stopped short of committing to starting Sefolosha again in Game 4, but he implied that he’ll likely stick with the same alignment. “I think just the energy and good play that Thabo started the game with and the energy and good play that Kyle brought off the bench, I think we felt like that was a positive and something that we will consider between now and tomorrow,” Budenholzer said. “But I think overall that was, in our eyes, something that was a positive.”
