Atlanta Hawks vs Boston Celtics prediction

I’ve been fading the Atlanta Hawks all season long because they’re 14-36 ATS on the season, which makes them by far the worst covering team in the league. However, the Hawks have been solid as of late which includes wins over the Warriors, Suns and Lakers, and they took the Clippers down to the wire. The Hawks all of a sudden are playing decent ball and deserve a look in the underdog role. The Boston Celtics are obviously the better team, but they’re 24-24-2 ATS, and a lot of that is because they get these inflated lines. Jaylen Brown is probable despite a back issue, and Holiday could miss this game because of an elbow injury. Give me the Hawks and the points.
