CHICAGO (AP) Atlanta All-Star forward Paul Millsap is in the lineup for the Hawks' regular-season finale against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night.

Millsap, averaging 16.8 points, is back after missing five games because of a sprained right shoulder. He practiced Tuesday.

Backup forward Mike Scott (back contusion) is out, but the Hawks are playing their regular starters even though they have the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference locked up.

Chicago is without center Joakim Noah (left hamstring tendinitis) and guard Kirk Hinrich (left knee).
