KEY GAME INFORMATION
ATLANTA: When Jeff Teague has it going, he can carry this team offensively. He has shown the ability to get into the paint at will . . . Kyle Korver is coming off ankle surgery, but it shouldn't affect his shooting . . . Kent Bazemore is a high-energy, D-first guy who could start opposite Korver . . . His shot doesn't scare anybody, and opponents will continue to sag off Dennis Schroder. He'll be one of the league's better sixth men, but he's a work in progress . . . Tim Hardaway Jr. didn't play enough defense to stay on the court for the Knicks. He has to do a 180 if he's going to break into the rotation of a playoff team . . . Once he is fully recovered from shoulder surgery, Shelvin Mack will resume his role as third point guard . . . Justin Holiday is the new 12th man. With DeMarre Carroll gone, Paul Millsap will spend a little more time on the perimeter in big lineups. He has the skill set to thrive in an inside-outside role and should have another All-Star-type season . . . If his ankle is fully recovered, Thabo Sefolosha could step into DeMarre Carroll's old SF spot. He's no longer the corner three threat he was in Oklahoma City . . . Mike Scott could end up the first big off the bench. His lack of athleticism keeps him from being much of a threat on either side of the court, but his ability to step away and knock down shots spaces the floor nicely for the Hawks . . . Mike Muscala is an even more extreme version of Scott's skill set. He's a non-factor in most facets, but is one of the league's best pure-shooting bigs. He finally stayed healthy, and Al Horford has the ability to police the paint defensively, rebound, score and even create for teammates . . . Tiago Splitter provides Atlanta with a nice secondary part. He moves well defensively and is active on the offensive glass . . . Walter Tavares is massive and solidly athletic, but likely needs a year or two to develop.
BOSTON: Marcus Smart will likely keep the starting job as a defense-first game manager, but he's a part-time player until he comes along offensively . . . Avery Bradley's tenacious D would make Kyle Gass proud. He's a Brad Stevens favorite, but will continue to be little more than a catch-and-shoot option on offense . . . Stevens has mentioned Isaiah Thomas could start, but it doesn't matter. Even coming off the bench, he's the alpha scorer on this team . . . Evan Turner had some moments last year, but he's going to be a guy whose playing time depends on matchups . . . Terry Rozier is undersized and can't run the point, but could be a Bradley-type defender . . . R.J. Hunter is a deep threat who will likely have to spend some time in the D-League. The Celtics spent on Amir Johnson to provide some needed rebounding and rim protection . . . Jae Crowder has emerged as a nice glue guy, though he's shaky offensively . . . Jared Sullinger will still have a significant role. He provides a scoring threat on a team that lacks offensive punch . . . Jonas Jerebko gives them a versatile piece off the bench . . . David Lee looks like he will be playing significant minutes for this team. He is an excellent playmaker and can score in bunches . . . James Young is a work in progress after a shaky rookie year . . . Jordan Mickey is the kind of athlete they've wanted up front. Don't be surprised if the second-rounder out-plays the two first-round rookies. By the end of last season, Stevens seemed to have settled on Tyler Zeller as his starting center. Zeller isn't a dynamic athlete, but he generally gets himself into the right spots defensively and can knock down mid-range shots . . . Kelly Olynyk looks very good at times, but still disappears too often. He has a unique skill set for a 7-footer, but needs to become more aggressive on both ends of the court.
PREVIEW
Hawks-Celtics Preview
By ALAN FERGUSON STATS Writer

If the Atlanta Hawks can exorcise their postseason demons in Boston, they'll eliminate a longtime playoff nemesis for the first time in 58 years and get a rematch from last season's conference finals in the next round.

They may be catching a little break with the Celtics' Isaiah Thomas a bit banged-up, but the All-Star point guard insists he's not going to let his injury bother him.

The Celtics look to force a Game 7 and continue their postseason home dominance over the Hawks on Thursday night.

The home team has won the first five games in this series and Atlanta kept that trend going with a sudden U-turn in Game 5 on Tuesday. The Hawks scored 19 points in the first 17:59 but scorched the Celtics for 70 in the next 18 minutes en route to a 110-83 victory.

With another win, Atlanta will get a chance to face the team that swept it out of last year's Eastern Conference finals, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

"We just have to have this same type of mentality, same type of effort and take it on the road," coach Mike Budenholzer said. "Can we play with the same poise and the same effort? The crowd was great here tonight. I think the guys have a comfort level, and we just need to take that on the road. ... In the playoffs, it's important to put a crowd away and play well."

Behind 45 points from Paul Millsap, Budenholzer's team nearly earned an ultra-rare playoff victory in Boston in Sunday's Game 4, but was outscored 12-3 in overtime in a 104-95 defeat. If they can turn the tables this time, the Hawks would top Boston in a playoff series for the first time since winning their lone NBA title in 1958 as the St. Louis Hawks.

The franchise has lost nine straight playoff series with the Celtics since then. Atlanta has also dropped 10 consecutive postseason games in Boston since a 112-104 victory in Game 5 of the 1988 East semifinals, one of only two wins in its last 29 playoff contests there.

Boston is trying to avoid a third consecutive first-round exit, something that hasn't happened for the storied franchise since its first three playoff series from 1948-52.

"I don't think there's any need to light into anybody or give a big Knute Rockne speech in Game 5 and 6 in the Eastern Conference playoffs," coach Brad Stevens said. "I just think you get ready for the next one, you prepare really well and you hope you come out the way we came out, which is focused and ready. We just didn't sustain it."

Having Thomas play through his injury is also key.

Thomas re-aggravated a sprained left ankle in Tuesday's fourth quarter, but insists he'll play "no matter what." However, it's unclear how healthy he'll be especially after disclosing that he also tweaked his ankle in Game 4.

Boston's Avery Bradley is also expected to sit out a fifth consecutive game.

Thomas scored 28 points in Game 4, but was held to seven on 3-of-12 shooting Tuesday as the Hawks focused on stopping him by putting two or three defenders in his way.

Evan Turner was the only Celtic to score more than 10 with 15. Jonas Jerebko was limited to six after scoring a combined 27 in his first two starts in the series.

"Their game plan was to let the other guys beat us. It should be a sign of disrespect to my teammates for them to put two on the ball every time I have it," said Thomas, who totaled 70 points on 48.9 percent shooting in the first two home games in this series. "Other guys have to step up and make plays. That's what it comes down to."
