• Notable: Portland power forward LaMarcus Aldridge suffered a bone bruise to his right knee in the Trail Blazers' win over Oklahoma City Sunday and is listed as questionable for tonight's game against the Hawks. … Hawks rookie point guard Jeff Teague will share the floor for the first time as a pro with his former Indianapolis high school rival and AAU teammate Greg Oden, the Blazers' starting center. … Three Blazers have had surgery since July and all remain sidelined. Patty Mills (broken leg), Jeff Pendergraph (hip surgery) and Nicolas Batum (surgery on right labrum) are all on the inactive list. Batum, a starter before his injury, is out until the February All-Star break. … Hawks power forward Josh Smith is the surprising assist leader on the team after three games, with 5.7. Captain and All-Star Joe Johnson ranks second at 5.3. … For a team that ranked in the bottom half of the league in scoring a year ago, the Hawks have made a huge turnaround so far this season. They rank fifth in the league in scoring (110.0) behind Phoenix, Philadelphia, Denver and Orlando.
