DeRozan, Bulls edge Hawks in fourth quarter CHICAGO – With the Bulls (39-21) edging them out in the final minute, the Hawks (28-31) suffered a 112-108 loss Thursday in their first game...

Trae Young - Slow scoring night Young racked up 14 points (3-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 8-11 FT), three rebounds and 10 assists over 37 minutes during Thursday's 112-108 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Young was dreadful from the field in the loss and he failed to drain a triple for just the fifth time this season through 54 games. He's been below average offensively in his last two contests, finishing with 22 points in Orlando before the All-Star break. Young has been held under 20 points just twice in February, but on both occasions, he's been able to bounce back in the next game for an outburst of 30 points or more.

Danilo Gallinari - Flirts with double-double Gallinari contributed 26 points (10-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT) and nine rebounds over 35 minutes during Thursday's 112-108 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Gallinari fell just one rebound shy of a double-double in what was a surprisingly active night for him on the glass. Entering the night, he was averaging 4.9 rebounds per contest since the new calendar year (21games). Gallinari's scoring output also appeared to be an outlier considering he's putting up just under 11 points per game on the year (47 games), but it's worth noting that he's turned in 20-point performances in two of his last three matchups.

Clint Capela - Massive performance on glass Capela racked up 14 points (7-11 FG), 17 rebounds and two blocks across 29 minutes during Thursday's 112-108 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Capela secured 17 rebounds for the second time in four games in the loss, but his scoring has been lacking of late. After averaging 11.3 points through his first 42 games of the season, he's putting up just 7.8 points over eight games in February, attempting only 5.4 field goals per contest during the cold stretch.

Bogdan Bogdanovic - Paces scoring attack Bogdanovic finished Thursday's 112-108 loss to the Bulls with 27 points (11-24 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 0-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes.

Impact Bogdanovic led his team in both minutes and points in the loss despite coming off the bench. This is the second straight game he's led Atlanta in scoring, though this is unlikely to be a regular occurrence with Trae Young expected to shake off a few below-average performances.

De'Andre Hunter - Shut down for rest of night Hunter won't return to Thursday's game against Chicago due to illness, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact Hunter will miss the remainder of the second half after putting up just two points, one rebound and one assist in 13 minutes. Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kevin Huerter could see more opportunities down the stretch as a result.

Lou Williams - Good to go vs. CHI Williams (hamstring) is available for Thursday's game against the Bulls, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Impact Williams was dealing with tension in his left hamstring prior to the All-Star break, but he'll be back in the rotation as the Hawks start the second portion of the NBA season. The veteran guard is averaging 6.8 points, 1.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 14.7 minutes per game this season.

John Collins - Out Thursday Collins (foot) is out Thursday against the Bulls, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Lou Williams - Questionable Thursday Williams is questionable for Thursday's game against Chicago due to left hamstring tension, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact Williams dealt with a hamstring injury prior to the All-Star break, and he's still bothered by the issue as Atlanta prepares to return to play. If he's unavailable against the Bulls, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Delon Wright should see increased playing time.

John Collins - Absent from shootaround Collins (foot) didn't participate in the Hawks' morning shootaround and remains doubtful for Thursday's game in Chicago, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact Collins has only managed limited participation in practice since the Hawks reconvened following the All-Star break, so his streak of absences is likely to reach four games Thursday. Danilo Gallinari is primed to pick up another start at power forward in Collins' stead.

Gorgui Dieng - Out Thursday Dieng is out Thursday due to personal reasons, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

Impact Dieng hasn't been a consistent part of the rotation since late December, and that's unlikely to change even when he returns. Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu continue to hold things down at center.

John Collins - Unlikely to play Thursday Collins (foot) is doubtful for Thursday's game at Chicago, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact Collins was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice and isn't expected to take the court for Atlanta's first game out of the All-Star break. Danilo Gallinari figures to receive another start at power forward for the Hawks with Collins likely missing his fourth straight contest.

John Collins - Still limited Wednesday Collins (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, KL Chouinard of Hawks.com reports.

Impact A strained right foot kept Collins out of the Hawks' final three games before the All-Star break, and it looks like there's a good chance he'll end up missing some additional time. The big man has not been officially ruled out of Thursday's game at Chicago, but he did not practice Tuesday and his limited participation Wednesday -- coach Nate McMillan said Collins did some spot-up shooting but no running -- implies that he's highly unlikely to return to game action Thursday.
