Mavericks' Chandler out Wednesday with hip contusion

In addition to Rajon Rondo (suspension), Chandler Parsons (ankle) and Amar'e Stoudemire (rest), the Dallas Mavericks will be without starting center Tyson Chandler against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday.

Chandler suffered a hip contusion late in Tuesday's victory over the Toronto Raptors and has been ruled out against the Hawks.

The shorthanded Mavs were already going to be in tough having to match up with the 44-12 Hawks on the second night of a home-road back-to-back, but being without their defensive anchor makes the task even less enviable.

According to NBA.com's on/off data, the Mavericks allow only 100.9 points per 100 possessions with Chandler on the court, but allow 104.1 points per 100 possessions with their big man on the bench.
