The matchup vs. the Celtics is a difficult one; they have allowed the 2nd-least points per game in the league to the other team's starting PFs this year (14.5).The Celtics have played at the least up-tempo tempo in the NBA this year, which should lead to fewer plays for the Atlanta Hawks.The Hawks check in as the 2nd-worst offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 15 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore reduce further opportunities for scoring and assists).The matchup vs. Boston is a tough one for getting to the foul line; opposing starting PFs have attempted a mere 3.1 foul shots per game this year when the Boston Celtics are the visiting squad (8th-least in the league).
