Boston at Atlanta

April 9, 2016

Premium Pick

These Eastern Conference rivals enter tied for third place in the East, a game ahead of both the Miami Heat and the Charlotte Hornets. Boston is a dog but strong all around, fifth in the NBA in field goal shooting defense, #13 in points allowed and fourth in three-point defense. On offense, the Celtics are fourth in points scored. No starter played more than 25 minutes last night in a blowout win, looking ahead to the importance of this game. The Celtics are 40-16-1 ATS playing on no days rest. They match up well with Atlanta and Hawks starting Forward Kent Bazemore (knee) missed the win over Toronto and is considered day-to-day. Look for a close one all the way with so much at stake, so back the talented and motivated dog and take Boston.
