However, Atlanta is coming off a two-point win over Boston from three days ago. Furthermore, the Hawks are the ones on a winning streak. Meanwhile, the Celtics are looking to bounce back after their most recent loss to Atlanta.
But do you see lightning striking twice and the Hawks getting a home win against the Celtics tonight?

Key Stats
Boston Celtics
The Boston Celtics hope to ease concerns from the last game against the Atlanta Hawks. It was a close game, and the stars played well throughout most of it. Jayson Tatum had 37 points. Additionally, Jaylen Brown had 24 points. Furthermore, Kristaps Porzingis had 17 points and five rebounds to go along with three blocks. Usually, with those kinds of stats, it’s good enough. Unfortunately, the Celtics team just wasn’t able to produce enough winning plays down the stretch. This is a narrative that they will look to change tonight in Atlanta.
Atlanta Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks are on a winning streak. They are winning and looking better in their recent games. Dejounte Murray is averaging 27.7 points per game over his last 10 contests. Additionally, Clint Capela is amassing an impressive 13.3 points as well as 11.8 rebounds. But not everything it does shows up on the stat sheet, as he provides a lot of hustle and second-effort plays as well. This Atlanta Hawks team can hang with the Boston Celtics, and they hope to get another win tonight off of another strong performance.

Game Prediction
This spread is too high. The Boston Celtics should be able to respond, but it’s hard to see them blowing out the Hawks. This has less to do with the wind the other night. Instead, it has more to do with how well this Atlanta team has been playing. Additionally, an outright win would be a surprise. However, this game will undoubtedly stay within the spread for a lot of it. Therefore, I’m not getting fancy or overthinking anything; I’m sticking with the Atlanta Hawks plus 16 tonight.
Final Pick
Atlanta Hawks +16
