Pacers only have 8 players available tonight, which is part of the reason they signed Justin Anderson to a second 10-day contract. Need 8 active players.
Sykes, Haliubrton, Hield, Anderson, Bitadze; Stephenson, Taylor, Smith.
Only Bitadze was on the team last season. – 6:47 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Goga Bitadze (sore right foot) is back tonight and will start — along with Sykes, Haliburton, Hield and Anderson. Oshae Brissett is a late scratch.
Trae Young has scored 30+ in five straight games vs the Pacers, including 47 last time out. – 6:45 PM

“Felt very bad about not going on that trip because it’s just a hard set of couple games, given our personnel situation. But we got seven (games) left, and we gotta focus.” — #Pacers coach Rick Carlisle indystar.com/story/sports/n…6:39 PM
James Boyd @RomeovilleKid
“Could he have played a game or two at the end? Possibly, yes. He’s pretty close, but at that point with a back-to-back to end the season, what’s the point?” — #Pacers coach Rick Carlisle on Myles Turner indystar.com/story/sports/n…6:37 PM

Trae Young has scored 30+ points in five straight games against the Pacers. He’s the first Hawk since Dominique Wilkins to tally 30+ in five straight games against a single opponent (vs. Charlotte, 1/19/93-11/20/93), per @EliasSports. – 6:30 PM

📅 On this day in 2018, the @Minnesota Timberwolves Karl-Anthony Towns had 56 points and 15 rebounds in a 126-114 win over the Hawks.
Towns (22 years, 133 days) became the second-youngest player in NBA history to record at least 55p/15r in a game, a distinction he still holds. pic.twitter.com/b2qCI7qR1A1:01 PM
