NBA Basketball Betting – Celtics Look Finish Hawks Series Quickly

Although the Atlanta Hawks, (37-47 SU, 37-46-1 ATS, 42-42 O/U), will face the powerful Boston Celtics, (68-16 SU, 54-28-2 ATS, 36-47-1 O/U) at home and are saying all the right things about how their fans will be loud and frenzied, the fact of the matter is that the Hawks are taking on the league’s best road team during the regular season as the Celtics recorded an impressive 31-10 road record while no other team in the league managed to win more than 27 road contests.

"It will be loud," Hawks forward Marvin Williams said. "I remember when they came down there in the season, that's probably the most full it has been. We'll be back on our home court. Our fans will be ready for a good game and we'll be ready to play."

The Hawks had better be ready after suffering two emphatic blowouts in Boston including a 96-77 rout in Game 2 on Wednesday.

"We don't really care where we are at,” Celtics head coach Doc Rivers said. “We didn't make a big deal of it and we never talk about [being] on the road. Our veterans have great focus. That really helps. Young guys lose focus on the road more than veterans. Veterans have been through it all, so they just come to play."
