KEY GAME INFORMATION
ATLANTA: LAST SEASON: 24-58, missed playoffs.
COACH: Lloyd Pierce (first season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Trae Young (27.4 ppg, University of Oklahoma), G Kent Bazemore (12.9 ppg), C Alex Len (8.5 ppg, Phoenix), F Taurean Prince (14.1 ppg), F John Collins (10.5 ppg).
KEY LOSSES: G Dennis Schroder
KEY ADDITIONS: Young, G Kevin Huerter, F Omari Spellman, G Vince Carter
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Young, the fifth overall draft pick, is an exciting point guard who's likely to make a lot of rookie mistakes. Collins is primed to boost his scoring after spending the offseason to improve his jump shot. Prince has emerged as a team leader. Rookies Huerter and Spellman are first-round picks.
OUTLOOK: This season marks the second under general manager Travis Schlenk and the first of a complete rebuild. He and Pierce will take a patient approach with a young team that might struggle to win 20 games. The Hawks hope they drafted a franchise cornerstone in Young, but they aren't pressing him. Young was in high school two years ago and struggled at times in the second half of his only season at Oklahoma. Collins and Prince should be better in their second and third seasons, and Pierce will find opportunities for Huerter and Spellman if they earn the minutes in practice.
BOSTON: LAST SEASON: 55-27, lost in Eastern Conference finals.
COACH: Brad Stevens (sixth season).
PROJECTED STARTING FIVE: G Jaylen Brown (14.5 ppg), G Kyrie Irving (24.4 ppg), F Jayson Tatum (13.9 ppg), F Gordon Hayward (2.0 ppg; played one game last season), C Al Horford (12.9 ppg).
KEY LOSSES: G Shane Larkin, C Greg Monroe
KEY ADDITIONS: F Robert Williams, G Brad Wanamaker, G P.J. Dozier
PLAYERS TO WATCH: All eyes are on Hayward coming off his surgery and rehab from the gruesome left ankle injury he suffered in the season opener last season. After nearly a year away from playing 5-on-5 basketball, he says he's back to 100 percent. The same is true for point guard Kyrie Irving following a pair of surgeries on his left knee that caused him to miss the end of the regular season and playoffs. Irving's also pledged his allegiance to Boston, saying recently that he intended to re-sign with the Celtics in 2019.
OUTLOOK: With LeBron James now in the Western Conference, the Celtics enter this season as the presumptive favorites in the East. The injuries to Hayward and Irving gave Brown and Tatum a chance to shine and both young emerged as budding stars. After re-signing reserve guard Marcus Smart, Boston enters the season with a roster that's nearly fully intact from a year ago. The Celtics were one of the league's top defensive teams a last season and are expected to be there again under the defensive-minded Stevens. The challenge for the sixth-year
COACH will be getting this talented group to share the ball.
PREVIEW
Celtics host Hawks, seek eighth straight victory
 

BOSTON -- Celtics coach Brad Stevens has to count heads in his locker room before every game to see who is available for that game.

But regardless of who is in and who is out, Boston has won seven straight games heading into Friday night's home game against the Atlanta Hawks.

"The hallmark of this group has been whoever's available plays and is counted on to do what they're supposed to," Stevens said after Wednesday night's 130-125 overtime victory at Washington. "Not everybody had their best night, but everybody did their jobs and kept adding value when they checked in. They played whatever role they were asked to and gave us a chance to win."

The Celtics, who have exploded after a 10-10 start, were without Al Horford (resting sore knee), Gordon Hayward and Jaylen Brown (illness) on Wednesday. They pulled the game out when Kyrie Irving scored his team's last 12 points, including a 31-foot 3-pointer that followed a trey shot inches from his bench.

"We've seen Kyrie do that on multiple occasions," Marcus Smart said. "But to see it again in person -- every day we see that is something that is jaw-dropping for us."

Smart, who had 18 points, five rebounds, three assists and three steals, played his usual pesky game at guard and even spent some time at the five as Stevens juggled his roster -- in a game that saw the Celtics hit all 25 of their free throws.

Irving has played six of the seven games in the streak, averaging 24.8 points and 7.2 assists, going 21-for-47 from 3-point range and compiling a plus-116.

Horford will not play Friday when Boston returns home to face a struggling Hawks team that has lost five of its last six to fall to 6-21 on the season. Atlanta lost 114-107 in Dallas on Wednesday.

Rookie Trae Young playing against Luka Doncic -- the two were traded for each other on draft night -- on Wednesday. They each scored 24 points with Young recording 10 assists and Doncic grabbing 10 rebounds.

The Hawks' John Collins scored 20 points and grabbed a career-high 17 rebounds Wednesday. He has had five straight double-doubles, averaging 23.8 points and 13 rebounds per game over that span. In his 12 games since starting his season after injury, he is averaging 18.3 points and 9.0 rebounds. He had career highs in points in four straight games before settling for 20 on Wednesday.

Asked about his big man, coach Lloyd Pierce said: "It's a weird thing to say. We'll run our dribble stuff for Baze (Kent Bazemore). We'll run stack stuff for Kev (Kevin Huerter). I don't have anything for John. He makes our offense work. It's not really for him, but if the defense messes up, he's the easiest guy to find because he's at the rim. The action really isn't for him, but he makes it work."

Said Collins, who is in his second year: "I've always taken pride in trying to catch the ball. I felt like that was an important thing for guards to trust the big fella when they give them the ball -- that you can catch and finish. I think that's real big for the trust between you and your guards."

The Celtics defeated the Hawks 114-96 in Atlanta on Nov. 23, with Aron Baynes leading six players in double figures with 16 points while adding a team-high nine rebounds. Young scored only five points and was a minus-35.
