Tim Hardaway: To start Game 1

Hardaway was rested for the Hawks’ final regular season outing after starting
the team’s previous 12 games, but he’ll maintain his shooting guard spot ahead
of Sunday’s playoff opener. Considering his strong play of late, that role comes
as little surprise, as Hardaway averaged 17.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists
and 2.1 three-pointers in 30 starts this season.
