Jalen Johnson is averaging 22.7 points and 10.4 rebounds, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker is averaging 20.3 points and 3.4 rebounds. CJ McCollum is the third double-digit scorer, and Jonathan Kuminga is grabbing 7 rebounds. The Atlanta Hawks are shooting 36.7 percent from beyond the arc and 77.5 percent from the free-throw line. The Atlanta Hawks are allowing 35.7 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 43.4 rebounds per game.
The Boston Celtics beat the Thunder, lost to the Timberwolves and play the Hornets next. The Celtics have won 23 of their last 32 games.
The Boston Celtics are averaging 114.4 points on 46.4 percent shooting and allowing 107 points on 44.1 percent shooting.

The Boston Celtics are shooting 36.1 percent from beyond the arc and 80.6 percent from the free throw line. The Boston Celtics are allowing 35.7 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 46.4 rebounds per game.
The Celtics will be without Nikola Vucevic. Derrick White, Neemias Queta, and Jaylen Brown are questionable.
The Hawks don’t have any players listed on their injury report.
The Celtics are looking more and more like a title contender and should be favored at home, but they also have some names on their injury report that need clarity. Potentially no Brown or White? The Hawks have a clean injury report and are hot as fish grease. A statement game for the Hawks and a bit of a letdown spot for the Celtics after beating the Thunder their last time out. The Hawks have won 5 of the last 7 games against the Celtics and this version of Atlanta is as good as any of those teams. Should be a battle, but I want the points with the Hawks given their form and more certainty in terms of the injury report.
