Atlanta Hawks vs Boston Celtics Best Bet: Thursday, April 27th

A banger of a series between the Celtics and the Hawks will have its next act tonight in the State Farm Arena. The Hawks, surprisingly, managed to bounce back in Boston, winning the last game 117-119 so we have a real treat in front of us for tonight.

Against all odds, the Hawks bounced back. It is safe to say they have the momentum advantage right now. Their body language was just better in the last quarter in the last game in Boston as T. Young had one more show-off with 38 points and 13 assists. For tonight’s game, the Hawks will be missing D. Murray which will result in a lack of depth in their back-court. We are expecting a strong performance from B. Bogdanovic and his total points line of 11.5 Over could be an alternative bet here.

We are expecting the Hawks to play their fast-paced offence with a lot of switches on defence with their lengthy forwards. We will see how the Celtics will answer to this approach as they’ve shown they’re very vulnerable, already dropping 2 games.

The Celtics looked amazing at one point in this series. They lack continuity as J. Tatum had only 18 points with 8/21 from the field in the last game. We believe tonight will be his resurgence night as he has shown obvious discontent publically after losing the 2nd game to the Hawks. The quality discrepancy is big and favouring the Celtics, but this is why we love the playoffs, everything is possible, especially in games 6 and potentially 7.

The old news is that Gallinari is still the only one injured on the Celtics’ side with a knee injury.

The Hawks will do everything in their power to extend the series. The Spread is set to +6.5 against them. If the Celtics manage to win in the end, we don’t see them winning comfortably, the momentum and home court are too much for us to ignore this potentially very unrealistic spread against the Hawks. With another masterpiece by T. Young against Brogdon and Smart, everything is possible tonight in Georgia.
