ROTATION: Starters -- Point guard Mike Bibby, Shooting guard Joe Johnson, Small forward Marvin Williams, Power forward Josh Smith, Center Al Horford. Bench -- Guard Flip Murray, Guard Acie Law IV, Guard Mario West, Guard Mo Evans, Guard Speedy Claxton, Forward Thomas Gardner, Forward Othello Hunter, Forward Solomon Jones, Forward/center Zaza Pachulia, Center Randolph Morris.
PLAYER NOTES: --C Zaza Pachulia continues to play inspired basketball off the bench for the Hawks. He tossed in 10 points and five rebounds against the Wizards, another solid night's work for a player who could cash in during a meager free agent market this summer.
--G Mo Evans didn't score in his 12 minutes Monday night, turning in yet another strange performance after playing so well on the Hawks' recent Western Conference swing. The Hawks need more consistent production from Evans if they are going to play to their potential down the stretch this season.
--G Mike Bibby is clearly still regaining his mojo after fighting a flu bug the last week and a half. He wasn't particularly effective against the Wizards, but at least he stayed on the floor. His shot will return eventually. The Hawks would prefer that be Wednesday in New York.
MEDICAL WATCH:
--G Speedy Claxton remains on the inactive list with a hamstring injury and doesn't appear to be in the Hawks' plans anytime soon.
