ROTATION OUTLOOK

Warriors: Green's absence leaves the Warriors without their best playmaker, best defender and best communicator. There is no similar replacement in any of those areas, though the addition of Looney will help ... Whether Looney will start will be announced before tipoff, but his minutes will be restricted, likely in the 15-20 range. If he starts, it will be the Warriors' 12th different lineup this season ... With Looney available, joining Marquese Chriss, Omari Spellman and Cauley-Stein, the Warriors now have four players in the rotation capable of playing center or power forward ... Led by Paschall's 17.0 ppg, the team's rookies are averaging an NBA-best 34.0 ppg ... The Bowman-Young matchup should be fun to watch, as one takes pride in his defense (Bowman) and Young's 28.4 ppg ranks fourth in the league ... Today's available player count: Eight.

Hawks: The Hawks play inside-out, with Young comfortable launching from anywhere inside 35 feet but also willing to drive. With the big men attacking the rim, they rank fourth in paint points per game (52.8) . . . Parker, the No. 2 overall pick in 2014, has been a disappointment for much of his career – largely due to injuries – but is having a solid offensive season, averaging 16.8 ppg, At 6-8, 245, he's doing most of his damage in the paint. His 49 dunks rank fourth in the NBA . . . Alongside Young's deep shooting, Hunter has been a nice complement. The rookie from Virginia enters with a streak of 12 straight games with at least one triple . . . After three seasons with the Warriors, Jones still is seeking his NBA comfort zone. Early evaluation is mixed on his work since entering the starting lineup in place of Collins. Jones is averaging 6.9 ppg and 3.3 rpg . . . The Hawks rank sixth in forced turnovers per game (16.5), including forcing 28 in a game vs. Miami in the second week of the season. Yes, Vince Carter remains on the roster. If you've wondered where Chandler Parsons landed, look no further.

Officials: Tom Washington (crew chief), Scott Twardoski, Jason Goldenberg.
