Tonight's game is very winnable: Kyle Korver and Al Horford will not dress for the Hawks

Boston already matches up very well with the Hawks, the best team in the East, as evidenced by the Celts losing by just four in their first meeting.
This is a game in which the Celtics led by five going into the fourth quarter.
Korver is having an amazing season shooting .506% from the field .525% from three and .917% from the line.
I've been watching Kyle Korver work out for a good five minutes. I haven't seen him miss yes. And all he's taken is 3s.

Horford is one of the Hawks best post defenders and his absence should open up more scoring opportunities for Tyler Zeller and Jared Sullinger in the paint.
The Celts shouldn't get overconfident, however, considering this tidbit:
Atlanta's Al Horford and Kyle Korver out tonight, but C's can't grow overconfident. They lost at home to OKC without Durant and Westbrook.
