The Celtics will open the first round of the NBA playoffs on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks.

The Hawks turned back the Miami Heat — whom the Celtics played in the Eastern Conference finals last season — in the play-in tournament to earn the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Boston will have home-court advantage through at least the first two rounds by virtue of its No. 2 seed.

The Hawks are led by Trae Young, who is averaging 26.2 points and 10.2 assists per game.

The Celtics beat the Hawks in all three of their regular-season matchups: a 126-101 win in November, a 134-125 win on March 11, and a 120-114 victory to wrap the regular season on Sunday.

The winner of this first-round series will advance to play either No. 3 Philadelphia or No. 6 Brooklyn.
