Robinson Expected to Play Tonight

New York Knicks guard Nate Robinson is expected to see some playing time tonight against the Atlanta Hawks.

Earlier this week, it was unclear whether or not Robinson would suit up for tonight's game, due to an ankle sprain he suffered in Saturday's loss to Miami.

Newsday's Alan Hahn reports that although "Nate the Great" missed another practice Tuesday, all signs indicate he'll be ready to go by this evening.

"Knowing Nate," D'Antoni said, "if he thinks he can give it a go he'll play without a problem."

Coming off their disappointing loss to the Heat, the Knicks could certainly use a win against a good team like Atlanta. The team plays a better brand of basketball with Robinson on the court, so hopefully there aren't any setbacks between now and game time.

Hahn also notes that Wilson Chandler will start tonight, and Jared Jeffries will come off the bench.
