The Atlanta Hawks are in Boston facing elimination in Game 5 of their series with the Celtics and will have to avoid the end of their season without Guard Dejounte Murray, who was suspended for actions in the immediate aftermath of the Game 4 loss.
Wihtout Murray, who has averaged just over 25 points per game in the series, the Hawks are expected to turn to Bogdan Bogdanovic to provide a boost in scoring that the team will be missing with Murray unavailable.
Bogdanovic, who has primarily been used as a scorer off the bench, has averaged 12.5 points per game in the series against Boston, is shooting 47.8% from three-point land, but has yet to top the 20-point mark in the series.
De'Andre Hunter dropped 27 points in a Game 4 loss to the Celtics and Atlanta will need a repeat effort from him, along with improved performance from PF John Collins who is averaging just 7.5 points per game in the series.
The Hawks trail the Celtics three games to one in the series and will see their season end if they lose tonight in Boston.
