I'm not going to be around to watch tonight's game live, since I'm out of town. Thomas is at Verizon Center, and hopefully, he's the good luck charm for the eventual first win of the season.
It's still not really clear which players will start and whether Nene will be playing. The starters got off to another slow start in Atlanta, and recent history indicates that means there will be a lineup change. Thomas will fill everyone in on that once Randy Wittman chooses to announce it. As for Nene, I doubt he sits, but he did say that the "injury is still there" following the Hawks game. We'll see how it feels tonight.
The same five players who started against the Hawks will start again tonight. Also, Nene will play, but with a minutes limit like on Wednesday.
