Result:
LOSS

The Boston Celtics tore apart a once championship lineup, as the "Big Three" have now all moved on. They have a roster full of mostly NBA role players, but what is in their favor is the roster has great depth, helpful late in the season. Boston may not be winning many games, but that doesn't mean they have not been competitive. The Celtics are getting the money as a sizable dog at a very profitable 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games as a dog of 6.5 or more. Atlanta is a playoff battle now, as they have done a complete meltdown in the second half of the season, and enter this game at 7-23-1 ATS in their last 31. Boston has been competitive in this spot, and Atlanta just hasn't been the same team in the second half. Play the Celtics.
