KEY GAME INFORMATION
CLEVELAND: Kyrie Irving has no timetable for a return after fracturing his kneecap in the Finals. He remained effective and productive alongside LeBron James, but Cleveland has to play it safe with him in the regular season . . . Despite the shaky Finals performance, Iman Shumpert got paid this offseason. He can defend, but he's a fifth option on offense and is out until January after undergoing wrist surgery . . . Mo Williams will alleviate some of Irving's point guard load, as his shooting makes him a nice fit alongside old pal LeBron . . . Unlikely postseason hero, Matthew Dellavedova figures to lose playing time but still has a place in the NBA as an energy guy . . . Joe Harris has some upside as a shooter, but will be buried on the bench. Look for LeBron James to take a little more time off than he has in past years, but he'll still be in the MVP conversation . . . They'll have to figure something out for Kevin Love, who was neither comfortable nor effective for most of last season . . . Newly-signed Tristan Thompson is more of a big body than anything else. He'll clear space around the basket for offensive boards, but he's not a rim protector and won't scare anyone offensively . . . Richard Jefferson figures to take on solid second-unit minutes. He still has something left in the tank . . . James Jones gives them another shooter to spread the floor, and absorbs any minutes that would have gone to Mike Miller . . . Rookie Sir'Dominic Pointer has no chance to make the rotation. Timofey Mozgov will often sit when opponents go small ball, but he has made strides as a capable defender and underrated scoring threat . . . Coming off a ruptured achilles, Anderson Varejao will likely fill a part-time role. Most guys have a rough time in their first season back from that injury.
ATLANTA: When Jeff Teague has it going, he can carry this team offensively. He has shown the ability to get into the paint at will . . . Kyle Korver is coming off ankle surgery, but it shouldn't affect his shooting . . . Kent Bazemore is a high-energy, D-first guy who could start opposite Korver . . . His shot doesn't scare anybody, and opponents will continue to sag off Dennis Schroder. He'll be one of the league's better sixth men, but he's a work in progress . . . Tim Hardaway Jr. didn't play enough defense to stay on the court for the Knicks. He has to do a 180 if he's going to break into the rotation of a playoff team . . . Once he is fully recovered from shoulder surgery, Shelvin Mack will resume his role as third point guard . . . Justin Holiday is the new 12th man. With DeMarre Carroll gone, Paul Millsap will spend a little more time on the perimeter in big lineups. He has the skill set to thrive in an inside-outside role and should have another All-Star-type season . . . If his ankle is fully recovered, Thabo Sefolosha could step into DeMarre Carroll's old SF spot. He's no longer the corner three threat he was in Oklahoma City . . . Mike Scott could end up the first big off the bench. His lack of athleticism keeps him from being much of a threat on either side of the court, but his ability to step away and knock down shots spaces the floor nicely for the Hawks . . . Mike Muscala is an even more extreme version of Scott's skill set. He's a non-factor in most facets, but is one of the league's best pure-shooting bigs. He finally stayed healthy, and Al Horford has the ability to police the paint defensively, rebound, score and even create for teammates . . . Tiago Splitter provides Atlanta with a nice secondary part. He moves well defensively and is active on the offensive glass . . . Walter Tavares is massive and solidly athletic, but likely needs a year or two to develop.
PREVIEW
Cavaliers-Hawks Preview
 

The Cleveland Cavaliers attempted the most 3-pointers in the Eastern Conference in the regular season and have simply upped that number to lead all teams in average attempts in the playoffs.

The Cavaliers turned in an astounding long-range effort their last time out and try to take a commanding 3-0 lead in their conference semifinal series Friday night on the road against the Atlanta Hawks.

Cleveland averaged 29.6 attempts from beyond the arc during the season and are hoisting up a league-best 35.7 during the playoffs. The strategy is working - the Cavaliers are the only unbeaten team left in the postseason and shooting an NBA-best 45.3 percent from long range.

Game 2 of this series featured an amazing display of marksmanship as Cleveland set a record with 25 3-pointers in Wednesday's 123-98 rout. J.R. Smith made seven and LeBron James and Kyrie Irving each sank four.

''Tonight was a special night for all of us who played,'' James said. ''This league has seen so many great teams, so many great players and great shooters and for us to set an all-time record is truly special.''

The Cavaliers surpassed the previous postseason high of 21 set by the Warriors in 2015 and the regular-season mark of 23, accomplished by two teams. Cleveland attempted 45 3-pointers - one shy of the playoff record set by Golden State last season.

''I don't think we searched out 3s until we heard on the Jumbotron that we tied the record,'' said James, who scored 27 points. ''And then we felt like we came this far so we might as well try and break it.''

The Hawks are second in the postseason with 31.6 3-point attempts per game. They have made 22 in this series compared to 40 for the Cavaliers.

''When they put those shots down, I don't know if anyone can beat them, to be honest,'' Atlanta's Kyle Korver said. ''We were hoping that they'd start missing at some point.''

Atlanta has lost 10 straight playoff games to Cleveland, and this series is looking alarmingly familiar to the Cavaliers' sweep in last year's conference finals.

Smith has made 11 of 20 attempts from long range, Irving has drained 7 of 10 and James is 6 for 10.

The Cavs led by as many as 18 while shooting 44.6 percent and making 15 of 31 3-pointers in a 104-93 victory in the series opener. Two days later, they shot 47.1 percent overall and led by as many as 41.

''That was overwhelming,'' Hawks guard Kent Bazemore said. ''I thought they shot (really well) in Game 1, but that was amazing.''

The defeat was so thorough that seldom-used backup center Mike Muscala, who scored 10 points in 14 minutes, appeared at the postgame news conference with NBA teams required to send at least one player. The Hawks know they are in trouble if Muscala continues to see action in this series.

"We need to get better in a lot of areas, probably starting with our transition defense and all the way through, and execute better offensively to take some pressure off our defense," coach Mike Budenholzer said.

Paul Millsap has totaled a team-high 33 points and 24 rebounds in the series for Atlanta, with Dennis Schroder scoring 32. Jeff Teague has been ineffective, making 5 of 19 shots for 22 points and 10 assists.

The Hawks have a 68-56 advantage in points in the paint in this series. That has been a meaningless statistic given the Cavaliers have scored 54 more points via 3-pointers.
