Hawks’ point guard Jeff Teague has missed the last three games with a left hamstring strain and it’s unclear when he’ll return. Atlanta has won its last five home meetings against the Clippers.

The Clippers have lost two of their last three games. Clippers’ backup center Spencer Hawes has been sidelined since Dec. 12 with a left knee bruise that he sustained against the Washington Wizards.
