Hawks hold entire starting lineup out Saturday

The Atlanta Hawks are celebrating clinching the Eastern Conference's No. 1 seed by giving their starters a night off.

With point guard Jeff Teague already being held out due to a sore ankle, the Hawks will rest Al Horford, Paul Millsap, Kyle Korver and DeMarre Carroll against the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday.

With home court advantage throughout the Eastern Conference playoffs already secure and the league-leading Golden State Warriors four games ahead with only 10 to play, there's essentially nothing left for the Hawks to play for over the season's final few weeks.

Head coach Mike Budenholzer will want to keep his team sharp heading into the postseason, but for one night at least, his stars will get a much deserved rest.
