Hawks been off since Sundays game where they actually beat the Spurs. Hawks playing well lately as they have won 3 in a row. They are rested as well. Should be a great game as these teams play each other well unless Korver or Humphries goes off. (Magic Killers)

Let's go Orlando! Here's to hoping Korver doesn't go off. And we need some good Defense on Howard, he has been playing decent lately.

AG struggled last time, Meeks, Fournier, Ibaka and Payton owned them, Dwight was too big for Biz, shot 90% and had a monster game on the glass. Nik should have another big game. He'll definitely help on the glass. Should be interesting.

This team has this weird thing going where every time I'm ready to give up hope on them they surprise me, and every time I'm about to get excited about them they disappoint. I really don't know what to expect anymore so I'll just hope for a hard-fought game without any expectations.

Looks like Fournier is gonna come off the bench with Elfrid starting.

Interesting...

Elfrid Payton back in the starting lineup.

Well deserved after not only taking his benching in stride, but working even harder to get his spot back.

Hoping DJ can continue his hot streak from deep back off the bench. He's over 41 percent I believe since moving lineups.

Well deserved by Elfrid. Just hope he continues to play as if hes trying to get his starting role back.

Good to see Vogel has the nads to change around who starts and who doesn't.

Nothing would make me happier than to see our Big Men do work tonight against Dwight.

I anticipate Fournier to be back in the SL soon, just doesn't make sense to put him there when that lineup + Elf has been doing good lately.

This lineup has played just 12 minutes together: 35% fg, 30% 3pt, -3. Hope they can get it going early. Meeks make your 3s!
