Preview:
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – successful NBA betting is all about riding the hot hand.
The Celtics are exactly that having won five games in a row ahead of Saturday’s tilt with the Hawks. During that time Brad Stevens’ side is 5-0 against the spread, making the -9 on the Celtics a worthwhile play.
Behind a 16-9-1 record, Boston has been the second-best team to back at home against the spread. The Celtics have also been the second-best team to back following a day off, going 21-11-1.
Atlanta has lost six straight games to Boston dating back to 2018 – which was also the last time they won in Boston. Trae Young and Jeff Teague are both battling minor injuries, while coach Lloyd Pierce will also be short on a handful of key bench players like DeAndre Bembry and Cam Reddish.
The Celtics haven’t lost at the Garden since January 18, so all in all, take Boston to win comfortably.
Odds:
Tip: Boston Celtics at $1.20
