Despite failing to close out this series in five games, the Celtics should still feel confident that they will eventually finish off the job against Atlanta. The Celtics lost in Game 5 at home, 119-117, but they were winning for three quarters. They simply took their foot off the gas and made some foolish plays that let the Hawks come back and win. The Celtics are unlikely to be as sloppy this time around. Boston, which is being led by
Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown – averaging 26.6 and 25.6 points, respectively in the series – is 5-0 ATS in its last five games after an ATS loss.
Betting on the Atlanta Hawks (+7.0)
Regular Season Record: 41-41
Trae Young is definitely the top guy to watch over at the side of Atlanta. Young scored 38 points in Game 5 to ensure that the Hawks will not be heading to Cancun after just five games in the first round. Even better for the Hawks is that they are getting back Dejounte Murray from suspension. Young is leading the Hawks in the series with 29.0 points per game, while Murray is right behind him with 25.3 points per game in the first round, so far. As a team, Atlanta is scoring 115.0 points on 45.5 percent shooting from the field versus Boston. The Over is 5-0-1 in the Hawks’ last six games afer a day of rest.
Writer’s Prediction
The Celtics win, 125-110.
