Atlanta has ruled out Landale due to a right ankle sprain that has kept him out for the entire playoffs thus far and he is expected to miss the entire first round.

With Landale still sidelined, Mouhamed Gueye and Tony Bradley will likely both continue to have increased roles off the bench behind Onyeka Okongwu.

Outside of Landale, the rest of the Hawks' roster is healthy entering Tuesday's contest as they try to steal a victory on the road to take a 3-2 series lead.
