--F Mo Evans played splendid basketball early this season but has suddenly fallen out of the playing rotation. He managed just two minutes against the Rockets. The Hawks will need more from him against the Hornets.

--G Jeff Teague has been another casualty of the rotation war Woodson is fighting. He played seven minutes against the Rockets but didn't have much of an impact on the game.

--G Mike Bibby didn't have a particularly effective game but the Hawks had no qualms about going to him late with the game on the line. Woodson said that's the way his team is made; go to the open man and win or lose with him.
