Most pundits have already penciled in the Hawks to progress to the Second Round of the Playoffs. Not many give the Nets much hope at pulling off an upset in this opening round of the postseason.
During the regular season, the Hawks won all four match ups between these two teams, and won handsomely; the average winning margin for Atlanta over Brooklyn was more than 17 points.

However, the Hawks will not be taking anything for granted after what happened last season when they were in a similar position, but lost in seven games against the much less fancied Indiana Pacers. That series defeat was painful as the Hawks had won twice in Indianapolis and came back to Atlanta with full confidence that they would finish things off, but they were taught a harsh lesson. The Hawks will be desperate avoid any kind of repeat of that failure this season.
There are four games taking place on Sunday in the NBA as the 2015 Playoffs get underway. The Boston Celtics go on the road to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
That game will mark the first time LeBron James will have worn a Cleveland shirt in the Playoffs since 2010. He will be hoping to lead the Cavaliers to a dream NBA Championship, however, to do so he and his team will have to navigate their way past the Boston Celtics first.
It is interesting to note that James' first stint with the Cavaliers ended with defeat against the Celtics. In 2010 the Celtics came out on top in six games, and that memory has remained with James, and no doubt he will use it as motivation for today's game.
The Portland Trailblazers will also be on the road against the Memphis Grizzlies at the FedExForum in Tennessee.
Also the San Antonio Spurs will travel to the Staples Center in California to take on the Los Angeles Clippers in what should be a very intriguing match up.
