<p>The Atlanta Hawks will be without shooting guard Kyle Korver Wednesday night against the Houston Rockets due to a rib injury. </p> <p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.peachtreehoops.com/">Atlanta Hawks</a> task in Houston just got a little tougher. The team announced Wednesday afternoon that <span>Kyle Korver</span> did not travel with the team due to a rib contusion. Korver <a href="http://www.ajc.com/news/sports/hawks-korver-out-with-rib-injury/nb6DM/">suffered the injury during Tuesday's game</a> and is officially listed as day-to-day.</p>
<p>Korver's consecutive games streak with a made three-pointer will remain intact while he is out. Currently Korver is at 88 games and just one behind Dana Barros for the all-time record.</p>
<p><span>Shelvin Mack</span> and <span>Lou Williams</span> did not make the trip to Houston either which will leave the Hawks thin in the backcourt. Mack suffered an ankle injury on Tuesday and Williams is still on a back-to-back restriction since returning from ACL surgery earlier this month.</p>
<p><span>Jeff Teague</span> and rookie Dennis Schröder are the only available point guard options while <span>John Jenkins</span> and <span>Cartier Martin</span> are candidates to play at shooting guard.</p>
<p><a href="https://twitter.com/ajchawks/status/405765409401368576">According to a report by Chris Vivlamore</a>, the Hawks don't have any intentions yet to recall Jared Cunningham from the D-League but that could be an option if the injury situation doesn't improve by the weekend.</p>

<p>Shelvin Mack suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter against the Orlando Magic and is questionable to return. </p> <p><span>Shelvin Mack</span> left Tuesday's game against the <a href="https://www.orlandopinstripedpost.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Orlando Magic</a> in the second quarter with an ankle injury and is questionable to return. Mack appeared to step on the foot of Magic center <span>Nikola Vucevic</span> and limped his way off the court. He was off to a good start in the game with six points and two assists in just over eight minutes of action.</p>
<p>If Mack is unable to go in the second half, <span>Mike Budenholzer</span> could elect to go with <span>Lou Williams</span> at the point or turn to rookie Dennis Schröder who has fallen out of the rotation of late.</p>
<p>Update:</p>
<p>Mack is <a href="https://twitter.com/RKalland/status/405532731628466176">unlikely to travel with the Hawks to Houston</a> due to the ankle injury. He will likely be reevaluated once the team returns to Atlanta.</p>
