Malcolm Brogdon has sunk a terrific 42.5% of his attempts from beyond the arc this season, significantly more than his 29.6 mark last season.The Boston Celtics check in as the 5th-most efficient 3-point shooting team in the NBA this year.The matchup vs. Atlanta is a positive one for three-point attempts; the opposition's starting PGs have averaged the 26th-most 3-point attempts per game in the league over the last 10 games when the Hawks are playing at home (6.5).The Hawks have played at the fastest pace in the NBA over the last 10 games in their home stadium, which should raise opportunities for the Celtics.The Hawks have allowed the 5th-least offensive rebounds per game (9.2) in the NBA to opposing teams over the last 25 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them can therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).
