Expect that stars like LeBron James and Jeff Teague will be on the floor to try and stretch their muscles and entertain fans as well.
Also expect young players like the Hawks' Tim Hardaway, Jr. to try and play a competitive game with his new team as they try to build chemistry heading into the new season.
Atlanta lost DeMarre Carroll this summer as the combo forward moved to the Toronto Raptors.
In return, they are welcoming Thabo Sefolosha after a long layoff and Hardaway will also likely come off the bench to help in the three position.
This will prove to be a tough place to be as James will likely be operating in the small forward position to save his legs for the long season ahead.
Despite this being an exhibition, look for the intensity and grit on both teams as they are forming a rivalry as the top teams in the East.
Reviving their Eastern Conference Finals match of last year, the Hawks are looking to erase the bitter taste of defeat by getting an early win against the favourites in the East.
The Cavs are battling injuries as players like Iman Shumpert and Kevin Love continue to recover from their respective knocks, but be assured that the Cavaliers will do what it takes not to give their rivals an easy match even if it is only in the preseason.
