What happened

Brooklyn heads into Atlanta after Wednesday’s 114-104 win over Charlotte, beginning the first stop on a four-game road trip.

Atlanta lists Mouhamed Gueye, Keshon Gilbert, and Asa Newell out, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker is working in a larger starting role and scoring 22.3 a game.
