Hawks injury report: DeShawn Stevenson is out tonight and won't be available until Monday after receiving a cortisone injection in his right knee following the game on Wednesday. Anthony Morrow is listed as questionable with a back injury. His status will likely be updated shortly before game time.
Nets injury report: None to report
Hawks player to watch: Josh Smith
Josh Smith returns from a one-game suspension to face the Nets on Friday night. All eyes will be on Smith to see how he reintegrates himself to the team. When applied, Smith can add another element to the succeses that the Hawks enjoyed on Wednesday. However, any lackluster effort by Atlanta tonight will likely be linked to Smith fair or not.
Nets player to watch: Brook Lopez
Larry Drew will have a decision to make on his starting lineup and will likely have to choose between Zaza Pachulia, Kyle Korver or Devin Harris. Starting the big lineup with Pachulia at center to matchup with Lopez may be the best bet. Lopez scored 22 points in Wednesday's matchup and has been a key contributor for the Nets all season.
