Nets' Rondae Hollis-Jefferson: Will play, start Sunday vs. Hawks

Hollis-Jefferson (illness) will start at power forward in Sunday's game against the Hawks, KL Chouinard of Hawks.com reports.

Analysis:

The Nets labeled Hollis-Jefferson as a game-time decision earlier in the day with the illness, but now that he's been cleared to suit up, it doesn't sound like he'll face any restrictions while he takes his usual spot in the starting five. The second-year forward has improved his play since the All-Star break, averaging 10.1 points (on 49.6% shooting from the field), 6.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steal in 22.1 minutes per game.
