Five things we learned about the Hawks on Tuesday:
1. The injury report lists Tim Hardaway Jr. as questionable with a right groin injury and Tiago Splitter as out with a (right calf strain).
2. The team did not practice on Tuesday after returning from Monday's 104-90 loss at the Timberwolves. They will return to Philips Arena for a scheduled shootaround Wednesday morning in advance of the game against the Knicks.
