When/where: 8 p.m. today, Toyota Center
TV: Fox Sports Southeast
Stream: Fox Sports Go
Radio: 92.9 The Game
Injuries: Hawks—Kent Bazemore (knee), DeAndre' Bembry (abdominal), Antonius Cleveland (ankle), Malcolm Delaney (ankle) and Jaylen Morris (ankle) are out; Dennis Schroder (ankle) is questionable; John Collins (ankle) is probable.
Rockets—Ryan Anderson (rest), Luc Mbah a Moute (knee) and Chris Paul (hamstring) are out.
What to watch for
The Hawks (21-51) could be missing starting point guard Dennis Schroder for the second time in three games. Schroder is questionable after he rolled his left ankle in the loss at Golden State on Friday (Schroder briefly left the game before returning). Schroder was a healthy scratch at Sacramento on Thursday. The Hawks are 0-5 this season in games without Schroder.
Star guard Chris Paul (hamstring) is out for the Rockets (59-14). Sportsbooks still have Houston as a 12½-point favorite to win its ninth consecutive game and 25th in the past 27.
