Hawks' Ersan Ilyasova: Available to play Friday

Ilyasova is available to play in Friday's game against the Heat, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

Ilyasova was traded to the Hawks at Thursday's trade deadline, and it looks like there will be no delay in the power forward seeing the floor with his new team. Expect Ilyasova to take a role behind Paul Milsap off the bench, serving as a capable stretch four that the Hawks were in need of for their second unit. Seeing as it is his first go with the team, however, Ilyasova may be limited in his role in Friday's contest, so fantasy owners should be cautious when inserting him into their lineups.
