NBA Basketball Betting - Boston Celtics Rockin', Atlanta Hawks Reelin
After predicting
the opening game of this series nearly
dead on in the BetUS Locker Room on
Sunday, I am back to offer the BetUS
NBA Betting Community another solid
winning wager on tonight’s
Game 2 matchup.
While the
Atlanta Hawks, (37-46 SU, 37-45-1 ATS,
42-41 O/U) should definitely be proud
of the fact that they reached the playoffs
for the first time in nine seasons – and
have one of the best young teams in
all of basketball, the Hawks, who were
routed in Game 1 of their first round
playoff series with the Boston Celtics,
(67-16 SU, 53-28-2 ATS, 35-46-1 O/U),
losing 104-81 on Sunday, are clearly
not in the same class as the Celtics
who are apparently headed for a date
in the NBA Finals.
The Hawks
will also face a Celtics team tonight
that will likely come with an even
better defensive effort after watching
power forward Kevin Garnett win the league’s
annual NBA Defensive Player of the Year
Award on Tuesday.
"They're going to make some adjustments.
We make some adjustments," Garnett
said. "If anything, this award comes
right at the right time to be more defensive
than ever."

The young Hawks,
who will head home for Games 3 and 4
are counting on stretching the series
past the four-game minimum.
"It's a seven-game series, so now
you have a chance to redeem yourself," Johnson
said. "We've just got to relax."
The Celtics, the league’s best
defensive team, held the Hawks to an
atrocious 29-for-76 shooting night from
the field, (38.2 percent), though blossoming
young center Al Horford scored 20 points
on 7-for-10 shooting.The Celtics placed
six players, including two reserves, in double figures in scoring.
Here
is a look at tonight’s key
trends followed by my NBA Wagering Free
Picks:
The Hawks are 11-23 ATS in their last
34 road games vs. a team with a winning
home record.
The Hawks are 5-11 ATS in their last
16 after allowing 100 points or more
in their previous game.
The Celtics are 5-0 ATS in their last
five home games vs. a team with a losing
road record.
The Celtics are 7-0 ATS in their last
seven home games vs. a team with a road
winning percentage of less than .400.
The Under is 4-0 in Hawks last four
games as an underdog of 11.0 or greater.
The Under is 5-0 in Celtics last five
playoff games as a favorite.
The Under is 4-0 in the last four meetings.
The Under is 7-1 in the last eight meetings
in Boston.
Analysis:
I don’t know how else
to say it, but the Hawks are going down
again and they are going down hard. Take
the Celtics for another 20-point win
in another home playoff contest in which
their raucous fans will be going ballistic
once again.
