Boston dominated the first two games of the series and the Celtics have covered the spread six games in a row going back to the regular season. Jayson Tatum had 29 points and the Celtics outscored Atlanta 64-40 in the paint in Game 2 and it won't get any better for the Hawks even as they return home for Games 3 and 4. The Celtics have won and covered the past seven meetings and they are 21-8-1 ATS their past 30 conference quarterfinal games. The Hawks are just 2-9 ATS playing with two days rest and 0-8 ATS their past eight games against teams with .600 winning percentages. Trae Young has not had a good series hitting on only three of 13 from 3-point range and he is shooting just 35 percent overall. Young has been outplayed by Boston's Derrick White, who averaged 25 points in the two games. Take the Celtics as a Max Play.
