What’s Going On? Collins has been out for the second leg of the Hawks’ back-to-back games. Danilo Gallinari, who replaced Collins in the starting lineup on Sunday, has also been ruled out due to Achilles soreness, so look for De’Andre Hunter and Onyeka Okongwu to take on larger roles. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot could draw a start if the Hawks want to keep the second unit intact.
