Atlanta posted a 96-84 win over the Nuggets (23-41) on Dec. 7, getting 23 points and 4-of-5 shooting from beyond the arc from Millsap.
That victory came at home, however, and the Hawks have dropped seven straight and nine of 10 visits to Denver. Plus, the Nuggets are playing better since Melvin Hunt replaced the fired Brian Shaw last week.

While Atlanta would love to finish with the best record in the league - it is a half-game behind the Warriors - Budenholzer has made it clear that is a very low priority, with the only tangible benefit being home-court advantage in the NBA Finals, should the Hawks make it that far.
''We don't care about a whole bunch of victories right now,'' forward DeMarre Carroll said. ''We're worried about being better later.''
