ATLANTA -- The Celtics are in search of two big men while veteran Jermaine O'Neal has decided on season-ending wrist surgery and his Boston tenure is over. Other than that, the Celtics are healthy and said they are ready to atone for the past two losses, especially Saturday at Denver when players questioned effort.

As for the Hawks, they have been banged up. Marvin Williams (hip flexor), Vladimir Radmanovic (back) and Jannero Pargo (appendectomy) are out. Willie Green (hamstring) is back.
