The Hawks came into tonight severely undermanned. Among the players listed out were Bogdan Bogdanovic, Dyson Daniels, Kobe Bufkin, Vit Krejci and De’Andre Hunter along with Cody Zeller, who is not with the team for non-injury reasons, and two of the two-way players.
David Roddy joined the starting lineup for tonight, and Zaccharie Risacher got his third straight start as well. Early in the game, no. 1 got the upper hand on no. 2 with this nice footwork to find a bucket.

But Atlanta was a step slow out of the gate faced up against a spry young Wizards lineup that featured three rookies and a second-year player.
