Cleveland's Kryie Irving (knee) is closer to 100 percent.
"If he's able to play, then he'll play," coach David Blatt said via ESPN. "He's a big part of the team, and this series is not finished. But if he's not able to play, he won't. That's the determining factor."
Atlanta has some bad news on the injury front as it lost Kyle Korver for the remainder of the postseason with a sprained right ankle when he scrambled for a loose ball in Game 2.
"He's a huge part of our leadership, our fabric, our fiber," coach Mike Budenholzer told ESPN.
LeBron James finished with a game-high 30 points in Game 2 and also paced the Cavaliers with 11 assists while Klay Thompson had 16 rebounds to lead Cleveland.
Dennis Schroder led the Hawks with 13 points while MIke Scott led Houston in rebounds (7), Jeff Teague was first in assists (6) and Paul Millsap led the way in steals (2).
The Cavaliers look to jump out to a 3-0 series lead as they return home while the Hawks hope for their first win of the series when Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals goes live tonight from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.
