Boston at Atlanta

It is pretty evident at the midway point of the season that Boston is a shell of their former selves. Pierce, and Garnett simply can't do it on a night in, night out basis anymore. The Celtics have dropped five straight games, but before you write this team off, remember that they won six straight just before the losing streak. Yes, they have lost five straight, but the last four show a 1-point overtime loss, a 3-point loss to the Knicks, and a 5-point loss to Chicago, so they are right there. Getting 5 points here is a good spot for them, as they own an 8-point win in Atlanta already on the season. The Hawks aren't exactly blazing a trail of glory either, as they are 4-8 in their last 12 games. Boston has also had their number in this building, as the Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last six here. Go with Boston.
