We have reached the halfway point of the Celtics season as they face the 21-19 Atlanta Hawks tonight. It is the third time this season that these teams will play, with Boston winning 123-93 on November 4th and losing 117-116 on November 12th in an NBA Cup game. All time, the Celtics are 245-150 against the Hawks.
The Hawks have been a fun team to watch this season. Trae Young is leading the NBA in total assists and assists per game this season and Jalen Johnson has taken his game to a fringe All-Star level.
