ATLANTA -- The Boston Celtics take on the Atlanta Hawks on Monday at 7:30 p.m. on NBC Sports Boston.

Here are five things to watch.

1. Prior to the game, Jaylen Brown was named Eastern Conference Player of the Week. Brown had three excellent performances, including a 32-point outing against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Brad Stevens was asked about Brown’s award.

“I thought it was a no-brainer that he got it,” Stevens said. “I haven’t watched the whole rest of the league. That’s probably not fair. But he was awesome in all three games, and I thought that Miami game he set a tone with his defense, and then his offense followed suit. I thought he was good against Golden State and then I thought same thing against Philly. His defense was excellent and then his offense followed suit. He’s a really good player. We’ve talked the whole time about those awards are wonderful, but they’re subjective, so you shouldn’t wrap your value or identity around those things. Those are nice to put into a bookshelf, but that’s about it. So I’m really happy with how he’s attacked it, and I’m happy with how Jayson’s attacked it since he was named it. It’s not the end-all, be all. You just play the next game as hard as you can.”

2. Javonte Green will reportedly start, along with Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Gordon Hayward and Daniel Theis. This will be Green’s first start of the season.

3. Enes Kanter is available to play, after missing a few games with a sore hip. Kanter missed five games with an injured hip.

Stevens said Kanter will be on a minutes restriction.

“He’s not going to be able to go very long,” Stevens said.

4. The Celtics will be without Kemba Walker and Marcus Smart, which -- as Stevens noted -- is a significant challenge. The Celtics will lean heavily on Brad Wanamaker, and Tremont Waters joined the team from Maine.

“You’re able to play in spread pick-and-rolls, you’re able to play in simple actions because he’s such a good playmaker for others,” Stevens said of Waters. “He knows how to play. He thinks the game. He sprays the ball around. Once he gains a small step or advantage he just makes the right play. That’s what makes him so easy to re-assimilate here with us.”

5. Former Celtic Evan Turner coached a TBT team from Ohio State that included former Celtic Jared Sullinger to a championship last summer. Turner said Sullinger just had twins (which, congrats to Sullinger!).

“He’s supposed to be entering his prime," Turner said of Sullinger. “I mean, it’s crazy when you play with him and he’s not in the league. But I mean, the league it’s not easy, but sometimes it’s little stuff. It’s right fit. It’s timing. You know, you went from signing with Toronto, broke his foot, was rehabbing and they trade him off to an organization that was kind of like rebuilding, just trying to get rid of stuff, and that’s how he ended up lost in the shuffle. So unfortunately that’s what happens every now and then.”
