Atlanta: 29-15 SU, 29-15 ATS
Tonight, 7:30 p.m. ET
Sportsbook favorite: Hawks -4
As often as the Celtics are good to us in the betting community, tonight may not be the time to rely on them. They had their hearts broken last night in Orlando, losing by two points after they led by 11 entering the fourth quarter. The Magic dropped 35 on Boston – the NBA’s best defenders – in the final frame. Now, the Celtics play a tough road game for a second consecutive night.
Kevin Garnett played 33 minutes last night but his six points on 2-of-8 shooting shows he’s clearly not paying at 100 per cent. The Hawks are playing great basketball right now, winning eight of 11 and riding the hot Joe Johnson, who was just named to his first NBA All-Star team as a reserve. Everything looks good for Atlanta tonight; it has no significant injuries and is 18-5 at home this season.
That last stat matters as the home team is 10-4 against the spread in the last 14 meetings between these two squads. If you need more reasons to pick Atlanta, how about the Hawks’ three-game winning streak against Boston?
