"Their pride restored after an embarrassing defeat, the Hawks now look forward to renewed health.

Center Al Horford (ankle) and forward Marvin Williams (back) appear set to return for Atlanta's game at Milwaukee on Wednesday. Joe Johnson (knee) and Josh Smith (knee) sat out practice Monday but both continued to play after incurring their injuries and should be fine.

If all four players suit up at Milwaukee, Atlanta would have its regular starting lineup available for the first time since Dec. 29.

"For the most part, I think everybody is going to be OK," Hawks coach Larry Drew said Monday. "Should have everybody back tomorrow."

The Hawks won 103-87 at Charlotte on Saturday, the night after New Orleans beat them 100-59 at Philips Arena.

Horford missed both games after suffering a right ankle sprain at Miami last Tuesday. He returned to practice Monday.

"It's getting there," Horford said of the ankle. "I was able to do pretty much the whole practice. It looks good for Wednesday."

Williams has been out since bruising his lower back on Dec. 29. He started working out on the side last week and now has been cleared for contact.

"I feel good," he said. "I haven't had any pain probably in a week now. I am starting to get my strength back. My conditioning is coming back. I am excited."

Johnson banged his knee during Atlanta's victory at Charlotte, though he said he's not sure how it happened. He left the game in the second quarter but returned after halftime."
