Rajon Rondo (back) out for Hawks again Sunday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Rajon Rondo (back) will miss Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

What It Means:

Rondo, now in his age 34 season, has only suited up for 14 of a possible 29 games so far this season as he's dealt with multiple, separate issues. His current back issue has held him out of Atlanta's previous six contests and will keep him out for a seventh consecutive game tonight.

With Rondo sidelined, Danilo Gallinari has played heavy minutes off the bench, averaging 24.7 per game in the recent contests Rondo has missed. Our models project him to score 13.6 points with 3.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists for a total of 20 fantasy points in tonight's contest.
