The Atlanta Hawks (11-16) take on the Boston Celtics (14-13) from TD Garden Wednesday evening, with the visitors looking to avoid a five-game losing streak. Notably, head coach Lloyd Pierce (birth of child) has returned to Atlanta and will miss Wednesday’s game. Nate McMillan will run the show in his absence.
The Celtics bring their own set of struggles into Wednesday’s contest, but did pick up a win last night over the Denver Nuggets in the first game of the home back-to-back. Atlanta has lost seven straight to Boston, with the last win coming all the way back in the 2017-2018 season.
