Follow Hawks will rest Paul Millsap, DeMarre Carroll and Kyle Korver tonight vs. Bobcats. #ATLHawks

Looks like Bud values rest over momentum.

Bobcats are playing for the right not to have to face the Heat today. I like the fact that we're resting some of our players, Millsap especially. The Pacers will have to play all their guys in their season finale vs. the Magic (still fighting for the 1 seed), unless Miami loses against the Wizards (who the Cats are fighting with for 6), so we'll at least have some fresher legs going into the playoff series this Saturday.

THE PLAYOFFS ARE THIS SATURDAY!!!

Methinks the Heat are ducking Brooklyn & Chicago. Taking the easier route of facing TOR/WAS in the 2nd round.

I agree with this. The Bobcats are still playing to win though and we are up with 3 starters out.

Maybe the Heat expect the Pacers to lose early so they aren't worried about homecourt.

Good game guys, your bench is deep with solid role players. Scott is an impressive young guy who flies way too far under the radar

Game winner. Well designed play.

Jefferson's a beast. This victory might alter the playoff matchups a bit.

I don't like the Heat, that being said I hope the Bobcats play Miami because they'll give the Heat more of a challenge. Noone on the planet can guard Jefferson right now, man, that cat (pun intended) is a BEAST.

^You got that right. It seems acquiring a real, big, back to the basket Center worked out well for the cellar-dwelling Cats.

What a novel idea to go big when everyone else is going small....
