The Boston Celtics have had 48 hours to process Wednesday night's disappointing loss to the Atlanta Hawks, and they'll have a chance for revenge Friday night at TD Garden.
The C's will get Kemba Walker back in the lineup for their second game versus the Hawks this week. Walker missed Wednesday's game because it was the second of a back-to-back. While Walker is expected to return, Boston might still be without one of its best players in Jaylen Brown, who is listed as questionable with left knee soreness.

For the Celtics to beat the Hawks, the improvement must start on the defensive end of the floor.
Atlanta had three players score 20-plus points in Wednesday's win over Boston, led by star point guard Trae Young's 43 points 14-of-20 shooting. Young was the fifth player in the Celtics' last six games to score 30 or more points. The 122 points the Celtics allowed to the Hawks were about 13 more than their season average.
