Going in to Game 4 of the Eastern Conference playoffs, the Miami Heat's Jamario Moon will be riding the bench as his team takes on the Atlanta Hawks.
Moon, who left game Game 3 in the second quarter and did not return, has a strained lower abdominal muscle.
The Hawks may be end up being down a forward themselves during Monday night's game. The status of Marvin Williams, who has a sprained right wrist, will be determined shortly before game time. Williams missed Game 3 with the wrist problem.
The Heat are taking a 2-1 lead into Game 4 of the series, with the Cleveland Cavaliers awaiting the eventual winner in the second round.
