The Atlanta Hawks are also in good form, winning five straight games at home and sitting at 42\u201333.<!-- --> This game matters for playoff seeding, so both teams will treat it seriously.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"3\"\/>Both sides are playing well, but injuries could affect how the game goes. Boston has a few important players listed as game-time decisions. Atlanta also has some players being checked before tip-off. Because of this, team depth and rotations could play a big role.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"5\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Boston Celtics injury report vs Atlanta Hawks (March 30, 2026)<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/>Boston Celtics has several key players on the injury list. Jayson Tatum is a game-time decision because of Achilles soreness after playing heavy minutes. <!-- -->Jaylen Brown is also day-to-day with Achilles and calf issues and missed the last game. Derrick White is dealing with a knee problem and will be a late decision.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>Nikola Vucevic is out with a fractured finger and is expected back in mid-April. The rest of the team is available. If the stars do not play full minutes, players like Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, Neemias Queta, and Hugo Gonzalez could see more time.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>When healthy, Boston starts White, Hauser, Brown, Tatum, and Vucevic. With Vucevic out, Queta or Luka Garza handle the center spot. The bench includes Pritchard, Gonzalez, Jordan Walsh, Baylor Scheirman, and Amari Williams. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Atlanta Hawks injury report vs Boston Celtics (March 30, 2026)<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>Atlanta Hawks has three players listed as day-to-day. Dyson Daniels is dealing with toe soreness and missed the last game. Onyeka Okongwu has a finger issue. Jonathan Kuminga is recovering from a knee knock. All three will be checked again before the game.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>The Hawks do not have any player ruled out. Their main group should be available. <!-- -->The team is leaded by Jalen Johnson, CJ McCollum, and Zaccharie Risacher. The roster also includes Gabe Vincent, Luke Kennard, Vit Krejci, Kobe Bufkin, Mouhamed Gueye, and N\u2019Faly Dante.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Atlanta plays fast and moves the ball well. They also look to score in transition. Jalen Johnson plays a big role on both ends, while Trae Young can take over the game when needed.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Boston Celtics vs Atlanta Hawks Season series and recent meetings<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>Boston leads the season series 2\u20131.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/> \u2022 Game 1: Celtics won 132\u2013106 in Atlanta<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/> \u2022 Game 2: Hawks won 117\u2013106 in Boston<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"38\"\/> \u2022 Game 3: Celtics won 109\u2013102 on March 27<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/>If Boston wins again, they will take the season series 3\u20131.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"43\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Boston Celtics vs Atlanta Hawks Team stats comparison<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"45\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"cdatainfo   id-r-component\" data-pos=\"46\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Category<\/td>\n<td>Boston Celtics<\/td>\n<td>Atlanta Hawks<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td> Record<\/td>\n<td> 50\u201324 (2nd in East)<\/td>\n<td> 42\u201333 (6th in East)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td> Points per game<\/td>\n<td> 114.1<\/td>\n<td> 118.3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td> Points allowed per game<\/td>\n<td> 106.8<\/td>\n<td> 116.4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td> Field-goal %<\/td>\n<td> 46.0%<\/td>\n<td> 47.0%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td> Rebounds per game<\/td>\n<td> 46.4<\/td>\n<td> 43.3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td> Assists per game<\/td>\n<td> 24.4<\/td>\n<td> 30.3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td> Steals per game<\/td>\n<td> 7.1<\/td>\n<td> 9.4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td> Blocks per game<\/td>\n<td> 5.1<\/td>\n<td> 4.6<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"47\"\/>Boston is stronger on defense and allows fewer points.

If they are limited, Pritchard and Hauser will need to score more.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"53\"\/>Atlanta needs to defend better against Boston\u2019s offense. They rely on forcing turnovers and playing fast. Jalen Johnson could have a big impact, especially if Boston is missing players.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"56\"\/>This game looks close. Boston has a stronger defense and more balance. Atlanta has home advantage and a fast offense.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"58\"\/>Key areas to watch include Jaylen Brown\u2019s Achilles, Derrick White\u2019s knee, Dyson Daniels\u2019 toe, and Jalen Johnson\u2019s role on offense.
