The Atlanta Hawks will look to rebound from an ugly Friday evening loss on Sunday when they will be on the road for an afternoon matchup vs. the Boston Celtics. Atlanta was drummed by the San Antonio Spurs 136-121 on their home floor on Friday. The Celtics meanwhile, beat the Denver Nuggets and MVP frontrunner Nikola Jokic to extend their current winning streak to seven games.
This is a big game for both sides as the playoff race is beginning to heat up heading into the All-Star break. The Hawks (No. 10) and Celtics (No. 7) both have some work to do to avoid the play-in tournament that proceeds the NBA Playoffs.
