The Atlanta Hawks are not a team that is participating in the Christmas Day games, but they will be back on the court tomorrow to try and snap a four game losing streak. They will face the Miami Heat, the first time the two divisional opponents have met this season and the Hawks got some encouraging news regarding its injury report for tomorrow night.

After missing Tuesday's game vs Chicago, Dyson Daniels is back and is going to be able tomorrow night for the Hawks. Mouhamed Gueye (right shoulder sprain) is questionable and Kristaps Porzingis remains out with an illness.

While there is still plenty of season left, the Hawks really could use a win. Not only have they lost four straight and eight of their last ten, they are close to the Heat in the standings.

Atlanta is having to sort through some injuries to the center position, with Porzingis out for an unspecified period of time and N'Faly Dante suffering a season-ending injury. That led them to signing center Malik Williams to a two-way contract and he could be in action tomorrow vs Miami.
