ATLANTA (AP) The Miami Heat activated center Loren Woods on Wednesday night and put center Wang Zhi-Zhi on the injured list with turf toe.

Lamar Odom, who missed Monday night's victory over the Chicago Bulls with a bruised right knee, also returned against the Atlanta Hawks.

The Heat entered the game sixth in the Eastern Conference, only one game behind New Orleans and Milwaukee.

``Every game is crucial right, so I didn't want to go into any game thin of people,'' Miami coach Stan Van Gundy said.

Forward Malik Allen, who sprained his left knee against the Bulls, didn't travel with the team to Atlanta. Van Gundy said Allen might return Friday at Detroit.
