Boston at Atlanta

Boston's offense has been outstanding all year, #10 in points scored and #2 in assists. They can get pushed around in the low post by big teams, but this is not a big Atlanta frontcourt, one ranked #27 in rebounding despite being #9 in points scored. The Celtics are 17-7 ATS against the NBA Southeast Division and face an Atlanta squad that is off a good game, but just 3-8 ATS following a spread win. Atlanta is well rested but the Hawks are 6-25 ATS in their last 31 games when playing on two days rest. Boston has won nine of 14 meetings since the start of 2010-11, though they split four last season. This shapes up as a close one, so grab the dog and play the points on the Boston Celtics.
