The Hawks have been a streaky team this season. Atlanta sits in the middle of the pack in the Eastern Conference standings, led by Trae Young, who averages 23.1 PPG.
However, Young missed the Hawks’ Jan. 15 game against the Chicago Bulls due to a rib injury after scoring 43 points against the Phoenix Suns the night prior.
Atlanta also benefits from the sharpshooting of Bogdan Bogdanović and the inside presence of Clint Capela, who anchors the paint with his rebounding and rim protection.
For Boston, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, who combined for 50 points against Orlando after a forgetful night in Toronto, will aim to reestablish the Celtics’ rhythm and consistency the NBA saw earlier in the season.
