Game preview: Hawks to sit three starters at Pistons

Radio: 92.9 The Game

Injuries: Hawks—Dennis Schroder (back), Ersan Ilyasova (shoulder), Kent Bazemore (rest) and Tyler Cavanaugh (ankle) are out.

Pistons—Reggie Jackson (ankle) and Jon Leuer (ankle) are out.

What to watch for: The Hawks (18-40) will play their final game before the All-Star break without three starters. Schroder, Ilyasova and Bazemore started and finished the loss at the Bucks last night and haven't missed any games recently.

The loss at Milwaukee was Atlanta’s third defeat in the past four games. The Hawks have lost five of their past six road games and are 2-10 when playing the second game on consecutive nights.

The Pistons (27-29) won four games in a row after acquiring Blake Griffin in a trade but have lost their last three , including a 118-115 defeat at Philips Arena on Sunday. Detroit lost at home to the Pelicans on Monday.

“I thought for the first time we looked really tired tonight, at least since I’ve been here,” Griffin told the team website after the loss to New Orleans. “I think a day off tomorrow will be good for us and coming in Wednesday ready and making sure we go into the break on the right foot.”
