Ray Allen (ankle) and Mickael Pietrus (knee) are not expected to play in Friday's game against the Hawks. Doc Rivers wasn't optimistic about either player's status after Wednesday's win, and owners shouldn't be relying on either player to take the court. With both players currently battling injuries, Avery Bradley, who has played at least 35 minutes in five straight games, will once again be locked into a major role.
