After two days off, the Hawks are back in action tonight on the road against the Chicago Bulls. This is the first matchup of the year between these two teams and while it may not seem like it, this could be a matchup of importance. Chicago and Atlanta are both near the bottom of the Eastern Conference playoff race right now and these games could determine who sneaks in. 

Injuries are going to be a huge part of this game tonight. Hawks point guard Trae Young is listed on the injury report and is questionable with a right AC shoulder sprain. Forward Jalen Johnson could be returning for his first game in a month tonight but is still listed as questionable. 

For the Bulls, they are going to be without Zach LaVine and could be without center Nikola Vucevic. The team has a better record with LaVine out, but Vucevic out would be a big deal. Keep an eye on the injury report for more on this matchup.
