Atlanta at Boston

The Boston Celtics have fared a lot better than most thought they would after losing Gordon Hayward for the season five minutes into his career as a Boston Celtic. It has been a streaky season for Boston. The Celtics have used a 16-game winning streak, and a seven game winning streak to get to 37-15, but outside the streaks they have been a puzzling 14-15. They certainly have not played well of late at just 3-5 in their last eight. Outside the two big streaks, Boston is just 12-17 ATS. Atlanta is in a rebuilding season at a woeful 15-36 on the season. This is, however, a bad spot for Boston as the Celtics are 13-1 SU and 2-12 ATS since the start of last year when favored by nine points or more. Play on Atlanta.
