What happened
Atlanta fell 121-99 at New Orleans on Saturday night, after a strong win over Cleveland, and failed to reach 100 points for the first time this season.
Dejounte Murray and Jordan Poole were ruled out beforehand, then Jock Landale left with a left hip injury and Jalen Johnson exited with a left ankle issue.
Those absences and exits leave Atlanta's frontcourt and perimeter rotation unsettled, and Asa Newell may receive more minutes if Landale misses time.
