The Hawks lost to the Celtics on Saturday night, but they maintained their two-game lead over the Pacers for the final playoff spot in the East because of an Indiana loss to Charlotte.
Both teams have two games left on their schedule, with an Atlanta win or Indiana loss clinching a postseason appearance for the Hawks.
The Pacers will battle the Wizards on Monday night as they look to keep their playoff hopes alive. Should the Pacers defeat the Wizards, the Hawks can clinch with a win over the Magic on Tuesday night.
