On Tuesday evening, the Boston Celtics will host the Atlanta Hawks for Game 2 of their first-round playoff series. 

For the game, both teams have announced their injury reports (updated as of 4:30 Eastern Time).

The Celtics have ruled out Danilo Gallinari, while no one is on the injury report for the Hawks.

Since Gallinari hasn't played in a game this season, both teams are essentially 100% healthy for Game 2. 

NBA's official injury report 

The Celtics have a 1-0 lead in the series after winning Game 1 on Saturday afternoon by a score of 112-99.  

For most of the game, the Celtics were in total control, but the Hawks did an excellent job of fighting back and making things interesting in the second half. 

They will need to pull off a big upset in Game 2 in order to avoid falling into an 0-2 hole.  

That said, Games 3 and 4 will be played at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. 

The Hawks are the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference after finishing with a 41-41 record (and beating the Miami Heat in the play-in tournament). 

On the road, they have struggled, going just 17-25 in 42 games away from Atlanta. 

As for the Celtics, they are the second seed and had a 57-25 record. 

At home, they have been outstanding, going 33-9 in 42 games hosted in Boston. 

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