Bruno Fernando (calf) unlikely to play for Hawks on Tuesday
Atlanta Hawks power forward Bruno Fernando (left calf strain) is unlikely to play on Tuesday versus the Toronto Raptors, per head coach Lloyd Pierce.
What It Means:
Fernando exited Sunday's game early after posting career-highs with 14 points and 12 rebounds. The Hawks are going to go small on Tuesday, with John Collins at center and Cam Reddish and De'Andre Hunter at the forward spots. Alex Len (right hip flexor strain) is also out, so Damian Jones will back up Collins.
Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Hawks-Raptors game features the second-highest over/under (233.0 points) on Tuesday's 10-game slate.
