3 Boston Celtics vs Atlanta Hawks Game Details

The Boston Celtics are focused on one target only, and that is winning the NBA championship this season. They are playing well in the opening round against the Hawks and it will take a miracle for the visitors to bring the series back to Atlanta. Boston is an excellent home team and they will most likely book their tickets for the second round and matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Prediction 1: Atlanta Hawks to Cover the Spread (+13)

The Boston Celtics are the favorites tonight and there is no doubt they will get the job done. The question is how good of a fight the Hawks will bring to the TD Garden. Their season is on the line and they will definitely give everything they got on the floor. The Celtics will play just enough to get the win which will allow the Hawks to cover the +13 point spread.

Prediction 2: Trae Young over 27.5 points

Trae Young is the main man in Atlanta. This team depends on his performance on the offensive end since he is not much of viability on defense. Rumor has it that Young has been voted the most overrated player in the league by his peers so he will have a lot to prove in probably his last game of the season. Young is averaging 26.2 points per game this season and scored over 30 in the last two games against the Celtics. The margin is set at 27.5 on him tonight and he is definitely going over it.

Celtics vs Hawks Preview – Can the Hawks survive tonight in Boston?

The Atlanta Hawks will leave everything they got on the court tonight since their season will probably come to an end. They proved themselves that they can beat the Celtics in Game 3 but that will require a very high shooting percentage which is near impossible in TD Garden.
