Last season the clubs played four times splitting the series with two wins each. All-time the Celtics have the winning advantage having defeated the Hawks on 242 of the 389 occasions the teams have played.
The teams have a long history of meeting in the postseason facing each other in 12 series (including when the Hawks were in St. Louis). Boston holds the edge here too winning 10 of the 12 series.
Atlanta Hawks
Quin Snyder may have some positives to take away from the Hawks fighting to find a rhythm and get back into the match in the second half. However, it felt much more like the Celtics built that massive 30-point first-half lead and took their foot off the gas.
Surely, he can’t be happy with his team shooting 17.2% from deep or 38.8% from the field with their leader Trae Young shooting 27.7% from the field and 20% from the perimeter.
Young and Dejounte Murray combined to take 43 of Atlanta’s 98 shots although Murray was much more efficient (10-25) the backcourt combined to shoot 1 of 11 from deep.
Stats
Atlanta ranks third in scoring, averaging 118.4 points per game while they shoot 48.3%, from the field and 35.2% from the perimeter ranking ninth and 21st respectively.
On defense, opponents score 118.1 points ranking 26th while foes register 48.6% field goal percentage and 35.6% perimeter percentage ranking 25th and 10th respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- No injuries
Boston Celtics
The Celtics lost their battle to gain the top seed in the conference but in their postseason opener, they demonstrated why many pundits earmarked them to win the title as they came out like a house on fire.
Specifically, the Bean Town crew showcased their depth by building a 30-point half-time lead scoring more in the second frame than the Hawks did in the entire first half.
Atlanta should also be somewhat wary of the fact Joe Mazzulla only gave eight members of his roster playing time. Boston is so deep players like Grant Williams who averaged 25.9 minutes per game in the season, didn’t even touch the court.
Stats
On the positive side, Boston claims the fourth-best point production averaging 117.9 points per game. In terms of efficiency, they shoot 47.5% from the field and 37.6% from the perimeter ranking 15th and sixth respectively.
Presently, opponents average 111.4 points per game which rank fifth. Celtics opponents are limited to 46.3% from the field and 34.5% from the perimeter ranking fifth and fourth respectively.
Injury Report
To summarize the injury report…
- Danilo Gallinari, SF (OUT indefinitely — ACL)

Free Atlanta Hawks vs. Boston Celtics NBA Prediction:
Although every coach will make adjustments after each game it’s hard to envision the Hawks competing with the Celtics or offering up much resistance.
Sure, they can shoot much better but virtually every Celtic said there was a lot to clean up and they could play much better.
That should have the Hawks shaking in their sneakers.
