Prediction
Celtics 115, Hawks 105
Moneyline (ML)
The Celtics have won three in a row, but they’re without Walker on Monday night. He’s been their most reliable offensive source this season, so Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown will need to step up. The Celtics have been just OK on the road, going 13-10 thus far, but Atlanta is even worse at home with an 8-16 record.
Boston has won five straight and 8 of 10 against Atlanta. Take the CELTICS (-304) to win outright on Monday night on the road.
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Celtics returns a profit of $3.29.
Line/Against the Spread (ATS)
The Celtics are favored by 6.5 points tonight and have been great against the spread lately. They’re 6-1 ATS in their last seven games and 25-8 SU as favorites; Boston is 29-17-2 ATS this season.
The Hawks have been very good ATS lately, too, going 6-1 in their last seven home games. Still, I’m confident the CELTICS -6.5 (-121) can cover and win by at least seven.
Over/Under (O/U)
The over/under is set at 223.5 points tonight. The Celtics average 112.5 points per game and the Hawks come in scoring 109.2 points per contest. While the total has gone Over in seven of the last 10 games between these two teams, it’ll be the UNDER 223.5 (-110) that hits tonight.
The total has gone Under in each of the Celtics’ last six games and five of their last six road games.
