Boston Celtics at Atlanta Hawks Game 4 Preview
In this story:
Preview
The Atlanta Hawks avoided an embarrassing first-round sweep at the hands of the Boston Celtics on Friday night. Tonight, they look to even the series at two games apiece before heading back to Boston for a make-or-break Game 5.
However, tonight's game is unlikely to look like the previous game. Everything went right for Atlanta, while Boston played their worst game in weeks. Atlanta outshot Boston from the field, foul line, and three-point line.
What's more, Boston did not get the level of production they expect from wings Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. With all that said, Atlanta still barely eeked out a victory in Game 3.
For Atlanta to pull off another upset victory, they need another transcendent performance from Trae Young. Additionally, their shaky perimeter defense has to at least contain the All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum.
Injury Report
Boston's injury report lists Marcus Smart (back) as questionable and Danilo Gallinari (knee) as out. Meanwhile, Atlanta does not have any injuries to report at this time.
