Fans of the Atlanta Hawks and the Miami Heat both entered Thursday's trade deadline with sky-high expectations for wild roster movement. In the end, both teams simply pulled off peripheral moves that could be attributed to cost/salary cap savings in the future. With that as the backdrop, the two teams will take to an NBA floor on Friday night in the first basketball action since All-Star Weekend and the trade deadline, and Atlanta will host the festivities.
The "headline" of the on-court contest is that Miami will be without both Chris Bosh and Hassan Whiteside for this game.
