New Hawk guard Kirk Hinrich could make his first appearance at Philips Arena, his sore calf pending. It's the Hawks' first home game in nearly 2 1/2 weeks.

This will be the Hawks' first of three games against the Bulls this year. The Hawks have played every team in the NBA this season except Chicago.

The Bulls have won four of their last five on the road. The Hawks lost their last two at home before their seven-game road swing.

For the Hawks, forward Josh Smith (knee sprain) and Hinrich (sore calf) are day-to-day. Going into their Monday game against Washington, the Bulls had no one on the injured list.
