Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray will miss Wednesday night’s game against the host Boston Celtics due to lower back tightness.

Boston will also be short-handed in the backcourt, as Jrue Holiday was ruled out due to a right elbow sprain.
Holiday, 32, has averaged 13.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 46 games (all starts) this season.
Atlanta enters Wednesday 22-28 on the season, while the Celtics are an NBA-best 38-12.
