The Boston Celtics, coming off a loss to the Brooklyn Nets, will look to get back in form against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. The Celtics will be without point guard Marcus Smart, who is injured with a lower-leg injury, and the duty of filling the void defensively will fall on a trio of guards in Isaiah Thomas, Avery Bradley and Evan Turner.
The Hawks won't have the services of Tiago Splitter or Kent Bazemore against Boston but will have Jeff Teague back in the starting lineup after missing the team's last three games with an ankle injury.
