The Eastern Conference Playoffs resume on Tuesday night with two matchups following the Philadelphia 76ers’ comeback win over the Brooklyn Nets. First up on Tuesday night’s slate are the Boston Celtics and the Atlanta Hawks

The Celtics and the Hawks tipped their series off on Saturday. It was a lopsided matchup in favor of the second-seeded Celtics, who took care of business as expected.

At this point, the Celtics have won six-straight games over the Hawks. They haven’t come up short against Atlanta since January of 2022. 

The Sixers will have eyes on Tuesday’s matchup between the Celtics and the Hawks, as they are set to face one of these two teams in the next round if all goes well for them in the remainder of their first-round matchup against the Nets. 

So far, the Celtics look like the far more dominant squad, as their first victory over the Hawks was achieved with a 13-point margin. 

On Tuesday night, the Celtics will search for the same success as they look to protect their home court at TD Garden Arena.
