The Atlanta Hawks are missing solid big man production off the bench. This issue will be resolved when Danilo Gallinari returns from his ankle injury.

During the previous game against the Charlotte Hornets, the Atlanta Hawks had issues when Clint Capela went to the bench. They turned to two-way player Nathan Knight to provide an offensive spark off the bench. The reason for this is Knight had provided 14 points in under nine minutes in a previous game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Against the Hornets Knight was only able to break up a full-court pass and miss a 3-point field goal in just under three minutes.
