What to watch for
The Hawks were left short-handed in a loss at Miami last night, but will have reinforcements for the rematch. Four Hawks players have been recalled from G League Erie for the rematch: Tyler Cavanaugh, Jeremy Evans, Josh Magette and Andrew White III.
Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer benched Taurean Prince for the second half of last night’s game and didn’t play Antonius Cleveland. That left the Hawks with a seven-man rotation in the second half. The Heat scored the final 11 points of the game to earn the 101-98 victory and clinch a berth in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
