Thompson will draw the rare start in Wednesday's matchup with the Hawks, Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Luis Scola is sitting this one out with a sore knee, and Thompson will benefit from his absence. Thompson has averaged 6.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in two other starts this season. Scola is not expected to miss an extended amount of time, so Thompson will only be intriguing in DFS formats.
