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 Celtics Betting Preview 

The Boston Celtics have been in great form as they’ve won seven of their last eight games overall and they will be gunning for a fourth straight victory after routing the Hornets in a 114-99 road win last night. Jayson Tatum led the team with 32 points and eight assists on 12 of 23 shooting; Payton Pritchard added 28 points with six rebounds and six assists, while Neemias Queta chipped in with 17 points.

As a team, the Celtics shot 51 percent from the field and 14 of 34 from the 3-point line as they dominated from the start and poured in 63 points in the first half to lead by as many as 20 points, which was more than enough to hold off the Hornets. The Celtics will face off against the Miami Heat next.  

Atlanta Hawks Betting Preview 

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks have been on a tear as they’ve won 15 of their last 17 games overall and they will be eager to keep it going after beating the Kings in a 123-113 win on Saturday. Nickeil Alexander-Walker led the team with 27 points and eight assists; Jalen Johnson added 26 points with 10 assists; CJ McCollum scored 22 points, while Jock Landale chipped in with 19 points and 13 rebounds.

As a team, the Hawks shot 51 percent from the field and 16 of 41 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in trouble after squandering an early 16-point lead before they responded with a crucial 17-6 run in the fourth quarter to reclaim the lead and secure the gritty win at home.

Boston Celtics vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction

The Celtics are still missing Nikola Vucevic but they could have Derrick White and Jaylen Brown back on the court, while the Hawks don’t have any players listed on the injury report. These teams have already clashed three times this season, with the Celtics leading the series by 2-1. These teams last met on Friday and it was the Celtics who won by 109-102 in a close contest that could’ve gone either way.

It’s tempting to take the Celtics as underdogs, but this will be their second road game of a back-to-back set, so I am leaning towards the Hawks to get some revenge at home in this spot.
