Atlanta is glad to be home after losing two straight in Boston, including 104-95 in overtime in Game 4 while shooting just 37 percent. Paul Millsap did all he could scoring 45 points with 13 rebounds but the next highest scorer was Jeff Teague with 13 points. The Celtics shot only 42.6 percent, but got clutch performances from Isaiah Thomas and Marcus Smart, who scored 28 and 20 points, respectively. The Hawks have won five in a row at home and had beaten the Celtics five straight overall before losing the last two games of this series. It's questionable how long Boston can survive without injured Avery Bradley, one of its top defenders. Look for Millsap to get more help from his teammates and the Celtics are 3-10 ATS their last 13 road games. Lay the points on the Hawks.
