Celtics vs Hawks prediction
These lines in the NBA over the last week or so have been downright nuts. We’re seeing double-digit lines everywhere, and it makes me uncomfortable. The Celtics won’t have Holiday for this game, so do what you will with that info. Regardless, the Celtics have won 9 of their last 10 games, and they’ve covered 8 of those games as well. The Hawks are barely treading water with all of these injuries, and they’ve failed to cover 5 of their last 7 games. The Hawks are the worst cover team in the NBA with a 24-46 ATS record. This is a spot where you plug your nose and lay the big number with the Celtics on the road.
