Result:
WIN

Boston made a tremendous comeback in Game 1 before falling short. Now the Celtics have to play Game 2 without Avery Bradley, who averages 15.2 points per game and is one of their best defensive players. Atlanta has won the last four meetings, including 3-1 ATS. The Hawks were led by Al Horford with 24 points on Saturday and Jeff Teague and Kent Bazemore added 23 points apiece. Neither team shot well with the Hawks making just 40.7 percent from the floor and the Celtics only 36.3 percent. Atlanta was 5-of-27 from three-point range but they average 34.9 percent from distance on the season. Look for the Hawks to have a better game on offense and for the Celtics to struggle without one of their top defenders. Play the Hawks.
