Brown and the Celtics visit conference foe Atlanta

The Celtics lead the East with a 25-15 record while the Hawks are 10th at 20-23 as both teams vie for key conference positioning.

  • Saturday's 7:30 p.m. EST game features the Atlanta Hawks hosting the Boston Celtics, with the 20-23 Hawks facing the 25-15 Celtics.
  • Boston leads the East defensively, allowing 110.2 points and 45.0% shooting, while averaging 15.6 made 3-pointers per game, 2.4 more than the 13.2 the Atlanta Hawks allow.
  • Porzingis, listed as doubtful, was downgraded to out on Friday due to left Achilles tendinitis, missing multiple games with POTS and calf issues since joining Atlanta.
  • The Hawks' trade of Trae Young and acquisition of Porzingis last July altered their rotation; Porzingis, averaging 17.1 points with 45.7 shooting, could significantly impact Atlanta if healthy.
  • Atlanta will visit Boston on January 28, 2026 and March 27, 2026, and Boston returns March 30, 2026, while Boston could be without forward Josh Minott due to a left ankle sprain.
