The Boston Celtics will play host to the Atlanta Hawks at their home court of TD Garden this Friday (March 27) night. In that game, the Celtics will be looking to follow up one of their best wins of the season with another victory against one of the hottest ball clubs in the league.
On the other side of the court, the Hawks are going to be looking to keep their current win streak going after beating another one of the best teams in the NBA. For the Celtics to win this contest, a little luck when it comes to a lengthier-than-usual injury report will be needed, but should be in Boston’s grasp if that pans out.
