The Boston Celtics and the Atlanta Hawks collide at the State Farm Arena on Monday night. Here’s a Boston Celtics vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction. This article will include a Boston Celtics vs Atlanta Hawks Pick.
Boston CelticsÂ
The Boston Celtics have been in great form as they’ve won six of their first seven games overall and they will be aiming for a third straight win after routing the Hornets in a 113-103 road win on Saturday. Jayson Tatum led the team with 29 points on seven of 15 shooting, Payton Pritchard added 22 points off the bench, Luke Kornet scored 19 points on six of six shooting while Derrick White chipped in with 18 points. As a team, the Celtics shot just 43 percent from the field and 16 of 52 from the 3-point line, but they were never in trouble after dominating the first quarter by 38-24 to take an early 21-point lead.Â
Atlanta HawksÂ
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks will be feeling much better after they were able to arrest a four-game slide with a 126-111 road win over the Pelicans last night. Jalen Johnson led the team with 29 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, Trae Young added 23 points with 12 assists while Dyson Daniels chipped in with 16 points, five rebounds, and three assists. As a team, the Hawks shot a healthy 56 percent from the field and 15 of 36 from the 3-point line as they traded with the Pelicans early on and trailed going into halftime before they caught fire and poured in 68 points in the second half to make it look easy in the end.Â

Boston Celtics vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Celtics are still shorthanded with Jaylen Brown and Kristaps Porzingis both out, while the Hawks are missing Bogdan Bogdanovic, De’Andre Hunter, and Cody Zeller to name a few. The Celtics have started the season on fire and I don’t think they will be slowing down anytime soon, even with Brown joining Porzingis on the sidelines. With that being said, the line is quite hefty for this one, so while I like the Celtics to build on their win streak, I think the Hawks hang around and keep this one close enough.
