Against the spread (ATS)
The CELTICS -3.5 (-110) are 0-5 ATS in their past five road outings, and they’re 1-8 ATS in the past nine games against a team with a losing record. However, a visit to the ATL might the cure to their ills, as the C’s are 4-0 ATS in their past four trips to Atlanta. The Celtics are 7-3 ATS in their past 10 on the second end of a back-to-back, while the Hawks are 1-5 ATS in their past six playing on no rest.
Over/Under (O/U)
Nearly all of the trends point to the OVER 227.5 (-110). The Over has cashed in four straight at home for Atlanta and eight of the past nine overall. The Over is 9-4 in Boston’s past 13 against losing teams and 6-2 in their past eight in the second end of a back-to-back. The Over is also 10-4-1 in the past 15 meetings between these teams.
