Boston vs Atlanta Prediction: Betting on the TO and the Celtics

Boston has played a few boring games in a row, but in the last game, they finally looked like themselves – they had a convincing home win over Orlando (121:94). Can the reigning champions keep up their winning streak in their game against Atlanta at home? Read on to find out our prediction. Let's pick a few bets for this match.

Boston

Before the game against Orlando, the Celtics had played perhaps their worst game of the season. On the road, Joe Mazzulla's team lost to one of the main outsiders of the Eastern Conference, Toronto. They never scored even a hundred points – 97:110. But the hosts did better against the Magic yesterday. The Celtics dominated on the field, winning by 27 points (121:94). Jayson Tatum was the most productive player with 30 points, while Kristaps Porzingis scored 23 points.

This was the sixth victory in the last nine games for the Celtics, even though they have not always played well recently. The Celtics are doing well in the Eastern Conference, currently sitting second (29-12).

Atlanta

The Hawks played their last game the day before yesterday, away against Chicago. Quin Snyder's team won an unusual game for them this season, with a score of 110:94. Even without their star, Trae Young, the Hawks were still able to win. Keaton Wallace got the most points for Atlanta, with 25. Rookie Daeqwon Plowden got 19 points. It's worth mentioning that Atlanta played seven of their previous eight games away and won four - not bad at all for such a challenging period. The Hawks' record currently stands at 21-19, and they are seventh in the Eastern Conference standings.

Expert Betting Tips

Atlanta is one of the most difficult opponents for Boston, even though the strength of the teams has not been comparable for several years. The Hawks have sometimes surprisingly beaten the Celtics, being a big underdog. However, Quin Snyder's team now has roster problems, especially with Trae Young's participation in the game uncertain. So let's bet on Boston, although in a low-scoring game - without Young, Atlanta's offensive potential is reduced significantly. Also, let's take TO rebounds here.
