Hawes (back) will be available for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.

Analysis:

After a month-long layoff, Hawes will be back in action for Saturday's contest. Given that Cody Zeller is questionable with a knee injury, Hawes' return should lessen the blow of his potential absence at center. Still, Al Jefferson and Frank Kaminsky will likely be the primary options off the bench in front of Hawes against the Nuggets.
