Ian Mahinmi will be out until at least April 19 with a calf injury. The Hawks are expected to have everyone available.
The Wizards’ major advantage in this series is their backcourt, period. Wall and Beal don’t need to give superhuman performances, but they do need to play at the high level we’ve come to expect from them. If Wall and Beal have bad games, the Hawks’ superior defense and frontcourt scoring could be too much for the Wizards.
