The Atlanta Hawks host the Boston Celtics on Saturday night. The regular season is winding down and both of these teams are locked into the playoffs, but the Hawks are still battling with the Heat in the Southeast.
Atlanta holds a lead in the Southeast, but the Heat are still knocking on the door.
Boston host Milwaukee tonight (Friday). Game time is a couple hours away at the time of writing. The Celtics are double-digit favorites against the Bucks and will likely win, but then they have to travel to Atlanta.
Boston Celtics
The Celtics are 7-3 in their last 10 games and on a 3-game winning streak. They recently beat GSW on the road, but Boston are just 20-20 in away games this season. Rest will also be an issue on the back-to-back.

Boston don’t have a superstar, but they’re one of the best offensive teams. They rank 5th in points scored (105.6 PPG), 6th in rebounds (45.2 RPG), 6th in assists (24.1 APG) and 13th in points allowed (102.3 PPG).
Eight players average over 20.0 MPG. That depth will make them a scary team once the playoffs start. Isaiah Thomas is the glue holding the Celtics together. He leads the team in points (22.4 PPG) and assists (6.3 APG).
Atlanta Hawks
Atlanta are playing good basketball right now as well. They’re 7-3 in their last 10 games and have won two in a row, which includes a big win over the Raptors on Thursday night. The Hawks have the night off tonight.
The Hawks rank 12th in points scored (102.8 PPG), 6th in points allowed (98.9 PPG), 2nd in assists (25.6 APG) and 25th in rebounds (42.0 RPG). They’re weak on the glass, but they play great team defense.

Atlanta can play great defense when they buckle down, especially at home. Boston also have to play tonight and then travel tonight to Atlanta.
