Paul Millsap playing Thursday, sitting Friday for Hawks

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Paul Millsap (knee) will play on Thursday against the Boston Celtics and will rest on Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

What It Means:

Millsap returned from an eight-game absence on Sunday and played only 26 minutes, but he should be in for a bigger workload tonight. That means less opportunity for Ersan Ilyasova, Taurean Prince and Dwight Howard.

numberFire's models project Millsap to turn in 13.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals in only 25.5 minutes on Thursday night.
