Premium Pick

Both teams will be focused on the postseason and have little to play for in this game and that goes for Atlanta especially as it comes off a tough overtime loss to Philadelphia on Friday night even while shooting 55.4 percent. The Hawks figure to cool off considerably while resting some starters and Boston comes into the game after winning seven of its past nine and covering its past three, including 121-102 over Toronto on Friday. The Celtics have won and covered the past four meetings and five of the past six meetings have stayed UNDER. The UNDER is 15-7 in Atlanta's past 22 games against .600 teams and Boston is 5-2-1 UNDER its past eight against teams with winning records. Boston has held opponents to 44.4 percent shooting its last three games. The Hawks are 4-10 ATS playing with one day of rest. Take the Celtics and the UNDER.
