Hawks vs. Celtics Picks
Point Spread Pick for Hawks vs. Celtics
- Atlanta Hawks to cover. (4 Units)
The Hawks have won three of their last five road games, while the Celtics have won three of their last five home games. Atlanta has the edge here because they’re playing well offensively, scoring more than 120 points per game in their last three games, while making over 49 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a better job at the charity stripe, making over 75 percent of their free throws during that span, while the Celtics made less than 70 percent of theirs. They rebound the ball well and grab more than nine offensive rebounds per game, which will give them more scoring chances. They also do a good job of protecting the ball on the road, and won’t give up many easy-scoring chances. The Celtics aren’t playing well defensively and gave up more than 110 points per game in their last three games, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Hawks. Take Atlanta to cover the spread.
Over/Under Pick for Hawks vs. Celtics
- Under (4 Units)
The Hawks average 117.8 points per game. They play at the fourth-fastest pace in the league, averaging 106.2 possessions per game, and they’re facing a team that is giving up 109.8 points per game at home. The Celtics average 116.6 points per game. They play at the slowest pace in the league, averaging 99.8 possessions per game, and they’re facing a team that gave up 113.7 points per game in their last three games. Don’t expect these teams to score enough points to push the score over the total.
