Atlanta has lost four out of five games, including 106-93 at Boston on Nov. 13. The Hawks held Boston to 40.8 percent in that game, but were outrebounded 50-35. The Celtics have won four of six but are coming off a 111-101 loss at Brooklyn on Sunday. Avery Bradley and Isaiah Thomas each scored 27 points but got little help from the rest of the team especially defensively as the Nets shot 50.6 percent from the field. Atlanta lost at Cleveland on Saturday 109-97 as Paul Millsap and Kyle Korver scored 14 points each. The Hawks had just a .372 field goal percentage and again were outrebounded 51-38. The Hawks are 1-6 ATS their last seven games overall and the Celtics are 5-2 ATS their last seven games in Atlanta and 9-3 ATS their last 12 road games dating to last season. The Hawks are just 3-8 ATS their last 11 home games. Jeff Teague is probable with an ankle injury and Millsap also is probable (wrist). Take the points and play the Celtics.
