NBA's official injury report 

The Hawks come into the night down 3-1 in the series, so a loss would eliminate them from the NBA Playoffs. 

They lost Games 1 and 2 and Boston but responded with a victory on their home floor in Game 3. 

However, the Hawks were unable to tie up the series at 2-2 and lost 129-121 in Game 4 on Sunday night at home. 

On the road, they have gone 17-26 in the 43 games they have played away from State Farm Arena. 

As for the Celtics, they are excellent on their home floor, going 34-9 in the 43 games they have hosted in Boston. 

Last year, the Hawks lost in the first round of the playoffs, while the Celtics made the NBA Finals for the first time since the 2010 season (they lost to the Golden State Warriors in six games). 

Whoever wins the series will advance to the second round and face off against James Harden and the Philadelphia 76ers (who swept the Brooklyn Nets in the first round).
