Tiago Splitter will be active and most likely be in the Hawks’ rotation tonight against the Mavericks.

The reserve center has missed the past seven games with a sore right hip. He was a full participant in practices Monday and Tuesday. Splitter also took part in shootaround Wednesday morning at American Airlines Arena.

“He is going to be available,” Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said. “My guess is we will use him.”

The Hawks upgraded Splitter to probable on Tuesday’s injury report.

The Hawks will keep its starting lineup of Jeff Teague, Kyle Korver, Thabo Sefolosha, Paul Millsap and Al Horford. Budenholzer said he intends to keep that lineup for the foreseeable future.
