Match Previews:

NBA 2021-22 will see Boston Celtics facing off against Atlanta Hawks on Monday, 14 February 2022 at 00:30 AM IST

The Hawks are in a tough spot, having lost four of their last six games. The San Antonio Spurs beat them 136-121 in their previous outing.

Meanwhile, the Celtics have been on a roll. They are on a seven-game winning streak and are coming off a 108-102 win over the Denver Nuggets.

Atlanta Hawks

• The Atlanta Hawks struggled immensely on defense from the get-go in their previous outing against the Spurs.
• They allowed San Antonio to convert eight of nine 3-pointers early on, conceding a 43-29 lead. It was always going to be an uphill task for them to overturn that rough start and they eventually lost.
• Atlanta couldnt defend well in transition either, giving up 23 fastbreak points. Bogdan Bogdanovic was the most efficient player for the side as he scored a team-high 23 points, shooting eight of 14 from the floor including five triples.

Key Player - Trae Young

Trae Young will need to be at his lethal best if the Atlanta Hawks are to prevail against the in-form Boston Celtics. Atlanta will be without their second-best player, John Collins, due to a foot injury he sustained in their last game.

Young will have to bring his A-game in Collins absence to make a difference offensively for his team as it wont be easy to score freely against Boston.

Boston Celtics

• The Boston Celtics seem to have turned the corner over their last few games. They have barely put a foot wrong and are looking unstoppable at the moment.
• They have blown out some of the top teams like the Denver Nuggets, Brooklyn Nets and Miami Heat over their seven-game winning run, so their confidence will be high against the struggling Hawks.
• The Celtics did a great job down the stretch against the Nuggets in their previous game. It was a neck and neck contest but some solid defensive plays helped them prevail. Boston forced the majority of the 21 turnovers the Nuggets committed and scored 22 points off them.

Key Player - Marcus Smart

Marcus Smart has been vital in the Celtics recent successful run. His emergence and ability as a reliable scoring option and elite perimeter defender helps the team achieve positive results.

Smart will have to try and continue to be effective on both ends of the floor against the Hawks. His main challenge would be to limit the production of Trae Young as much as possible.
