Kris Humphries will miss today’s game against the Hawks with a right shin contusion.
Nathan Jawai will be active - in place of Hump.
Jose Calderon will be n/a as well, still dealing with his hamstring injury. No word if he’ll suit up on Wednesday against Detroit, but he is with the team.
Jermaine O’Neal will miss his 2nd straight game as well.
Anthony Parker will start again at the point for Toronto, alongside Jamario Moon, Joey Graham, Chris Bosh, and Andrea Bargnani
On the other side … for Atlanta … Al Horford (right knee) and Marvin Williams (concussion) will not play.
The tip is set to go in just over 30 minutes.
And be sure to tune in to our halftime show for a special Martin Luther King Jr. tribute.

Yes Jawai ! I hope to see him play !
- Ariel SantosSo far so good @ the half. Not to jinx the Raps, but this would be a good character win with all the injuries - JO, Calderone, Hump, this is a tough game to play in back to backs with a shortened bench.
- GaryI’m sorry, I’m sure Moon is a good guy but 20 seconds left and the Raps get a steal; Moon immediately jacks up a 3 that make it or not, is an ill advised decision. CLUNK
What’s his 3 pt percentage, under 30???
The posession before, he buys the up fake and fouls a guy who hasn’t shot all game, Bibby. And then stands there SMILING about it.
This was right after Bosh was berating him for being too soft on Joe Johnson and letting him walk in the paint.
It’s a no brainer that Moon should not start until he learns what keeps a real starter in the NBA.
Oh, and the Raptors just lost…
- GaryThe Raps were 2/18 on 3’s, that makes Moon’s shot even more apalling. And 3 free shots in the second half for the best free shot shooting team in the NBA…wasting 42 from Bosh and Bargnani
6 straight losses, 11 games under .500
- Garyuggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh
Gary, you didn’t jinx them, they just stink!!
