Injuries: Hawks— Tyler Cavanaugh (ankle), Antonius Cleveland (ankle) and DeAndre' Bembry (abdominal) are out; Malcolm Delaney (knee) is questionable.
Pacers— Darren Collison (knee) is out.
What to watch for: The Hawks (18-43) have lost four straight games and six of their last seven. This is the second meeting within five days between the Hawks and Pacers, who won 116-93 at home on Friday. The Pacers also beat the Hawks 105-95 on Dec. 20 at Philips Arena. The series concludes on March 9 at Philips Arena.
If Delaney doesn’t play, there’s a chance Hawks guard Jaylen Morris will make his NBA debut after signing a 10-day contract today. The Hawks sent wing Andrew White to their G-League affiliate in Erie after he played 18 minutes in the loss to the Lakers on Monday. If coach Mike Budenholzer sticks with a 10-man rotation Morris would be the final healthy body.
The Pacers (34-26) began their four-game trip with a lost at Dallas on Monday that ended their winning streak at four games. The Pacers are 15-7 since their season-high losing streak of five games.
