Atlanta Hawks vs. Boston Celtics Betting Analysis
Hawks Must Get Stops
The outcome of Atlanta Hawks games this season usually depends on if they are able to get any defensive stops or not. Atlanta has allowed at least 112 points in all four games of this series, and that’s just not good enough to get the job done.
The NBA team stats for the Hawks on offense continue to be impressive, and they have what it takes to score right along with Boston. Trae Young led the team with over 26 points per game during the regular season. He will look to take control in this game.
Atlanta doesn’t have a ton of depth, and they are going to get tested in that department on Tuesday night. The Hawks have shown the ability to defend the Celtics at times in this series, but finding a way to get that done for four quarters is going to be the challenge.
Dynamic Duo Leading Celtics
The Boston Celtics roster is loaded with some great players, but there are two superstars that tend to lead the way. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown do a little bit of everything for Boston. Those two will be players to watch in this matchup.
Tatum scored over 30 points per game this season, and Brown is capable of getting to that number as well. Making shots is a big key for the Celtics, and they will need Marcus Smart and Al Horford to play well also.
Boston will be able to throw an extra defender at Trae Young in this game, and they will be looking to protect the paint. If the Celtics take control of this game with their defense then the offense won’t have much trouble either.
Updates
The Atlanta Hawks will be without Dejounte Murray for this game as the star guard was suspended by the NBA for making contact with an official after the Game 4 loss. Murray has put up some great NBA player stats in this series, and his absence is going to be a huge blow.
Atlanta Hawks vs. Boston Celtics Betting Preview
The NBA odds for this game have the Boston Celtics as massive 13-point betting favorites over the Atlanta Hawks. This line has changed since it first opened. The spread has gotten larger with the news of the Murray suspension.
The over/under for this game is set at 229.5 total points.
Atlanta Hawks vs. Boston Celtics Betting Prediction
You don’t really need to look at too many NBA stats to come up with a Hawks vs Celtics betting prediction on Tuesday night. There have already been four games played in this series, and it’s pretty clear how each team wants to play.
The absence of Dejounte Murray isn’t something that the Hawks can make up. Keeping this game close on the road just isn’t going to happen.
- Bet the Celtics -13.0 as they are able to roll to a blowout win to advance to the next round.
