Randy’s Pick

The Boston Celtics have the rest advantage, and they’re at home with the talent edge, so a blowout win would surprise nobody. However, the Celtics have recent losses to the Magic and Hornets, so let’s relax a bit. Also, while the Celtics have owned the Hawks in past meetings, they’ve covered just 2 of the last 10 contests. The Hawks do just enough to compete with the Celtics and cash tickets. Give me the road dog.
