C	N. Krstic 8.1	A. Horford 15.7

The Celtics are coming off a great win against San Antonio, but always struggle in back to back games especially against young and athletic teams. I know the Celtics were able to prove they can turn it on whenever they want to, but I would like some confirmation with a win tonight. The Hawks are usually a pesky team and with Krstic out that means Al Horford will probably have a big game with Jermaine O'Neal being limited and not much depth.

The key to the game will be KG on Josh Smith. KG always plays a good defensive game against him. Also, if Rondo stays aggressive like he did last night that changes the whole game. I'd like to see Ray have a better shooting night percentage wise.

Celtics: 100-95
Tommy Award: Ray Allen
