The Hawks dominated in the paint in the first meeting this season. Dennis Schroder who averages 17 ppg only had 4 pts in the 2 pt loss earlier this year.
The Hawks haven't lost back-to-back games to Boston in over 2 years.
In the first meeting this season the Celtics hit 17 3-pointers and got a season-high 26 points from reserve forward Kelly Olynyk to push past a Hawks team that missed too many open looks from the perimeter. The Celtics also played last night with a tough game on the road while the Hawks have been off since Saturday in a game where they shot a season low 38%.
Look for Atlanta to be focused here tonight.
Look for Schroder and Millsap to come up big tonight for Mike Budenholzer's team, putting together a win on the road for Atlanta.
