No Trae Young tonight? What happened to him?

Should be an easy one if Young isn't able to go. Should've been a win even if Young did go though because these are the kinds of teams we need to beat if we want to make the playoffs.

Sprained his ankle pretty bad against the Bucks on Friday. He didn't even make the trip to Orlando.

I hope we approach tonight's game with some urgency. No Trae Young for the Hawks while we'll be without AG with his sore left achilles. AG needs to rest up a bit so he can regain his explosion. This is a game I want to see Vuc dominate in the post. He has been playing way too much on the perimeter for my liking. He needs to get back to establishing himself on the block so that teams are forced to double him down there. I also hope Markelle can bounce back as he was not very good on Saturday. Definitely need to get this win tonight.

I think part of it is teams not even guarding fultz outside at all sinking back making it hard to get vuc ball in good position ..vuc has been more open on outside..when vuc outside fultz can get basket

i think we’ll see that from vuc now that we won’t be forced feeding Ag down there.

Why da hell would we play Gordon against HAWKS?
They lost 21 of last 23 games , i would bet anything that they would lose to few Euroleague teams in uncompetitive fashion.

Vegas loves Orlando to cover -12 in this game.

It is for me a betters-trap, but I do love Orlando to out-right-win. Say by 8-10 points.

I'm pretty sure he's gonna be out a couple of games. I would bet that we'll see Iwundu in the starting lineup. Wonder how the bench will look with all of our injuries.

Obviously there is no excuses here must win game. Of course we know it most likely wont be as easy as it should. This is a perfect game to call up someone like bj johnson or vic law or even start Melvin frazier to see if there is anything worth while there but we know that wont happen. If they protect the 3 point line fairly well this should be a W. I think the only way the hawks can win this one is to shoot blistering hot from 3 with no trae I cant see that happening. Go magic

Fultz needs to keep shooting those open shots. I remember SVG calling timeouts and yelling at players for not shooting. I think he can get up to the low 30's this year.

The team has been better when Fultz is on the floor this year.

crazy ..but they did beat magic for 1 of those 6 wins...they had young ...but magic had ag,mo,mcw and aminu...so?
don't relax lol...go magic!

Collins is back just in time to get punked by Isaac again.

Although Isaac might be a little tired. He looks like he needs an I.V. to me. His eyes are all sunk in and he may of lost all the weight he gained.

No excuses. Blow them out.

Should be an easy win, if they lose this board is going to blow up

Uh oh, Clifford just said Melvin will play tonight. Atlanta is in trouble.

It's about time. I was beginning to think that he was on his way out. It's hard to believe that a franchise values a prospect when they haven't given them even five minutes of meaningful court time in two years. He's already 23. At some point, you have to find out what the kid can do with legitimate minutes.

The Magic need to be up for this one. There are no gimmes in this league.

Apparently, Frazier and Jefferson are getting minutes tonight too.
