The Atlanta Hawks are coming off a very respectable loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers but, as the team ventures away from Philips Arena for the first time in more than a week, health is a concern. Starting center Dewayne Dedmon was already out before Thursday but, in the midst of that defeat, the Hawks also lost backup center and general point of interest John Collins to a shoulder ailment that paints a bleak picture in the immediate timeframe.
While the Nets are actual a favorable opponent in this instance (and one Atlanta will face in back-to-back games), Mike Budenholzer’s rotation decisions will be quite interesting.
