Game 5 of the first-round series between the seventh-place Atlanta Hawks and second-seeded Boston Celtics tips off on Tuesday, April 25th. Boston took a 3-1 series lead with their 129-121 victory on Sunday and can close out the series in this contest.
ATS
At this time, the Hawks are 38-48-1 overall against the spread this season. Also, they are 19-25 ATS as the away team. Additionally, the Celtics are 48-37-1 against the spread this season. Also, they are 26-17 ATS as the home team
Season Series
The Celtics swept the regular season series with a trio of wins on November 16th (126-101), March 11th (134-125), and April 9th (120-114).
Last season the clubs played four times splitting the series with two wins each. All-time the Celtics have the winning advantage having defeated the Hawks on 242 of the 389 occasions the teams have played.
The teams have a long history of meeting in the postseason facing each other in 12 series (including when the Hawks were in St. Louis). Boston holds the edge here too winning 10 of the 12 series.
Atlanta Hawks
In the two games to open the series, the Hawks averaged 102.5 points losing both contests by double-digits. However, once they got back home their offense returned and they averaged 125.5 points.
Granted they only collected one win because Atlanta’s defense is still MIA.
Trae Young was much better at home and led the way Sunday scoring 35 points although he took 26 shots to accumulate that tally. DeAndre Hunter scored 27 points and might see his offensive role increased in Game 5 given what happened at game end.
To wit, Dejounte Murray (23 points, nine rebounds, six assists) appeared to make contact with official Gediminas Petraitis and continued to yell something in his direction as he left the court restrained by a staff member of the Hawks.
If it’s confirmed he made contact it will be an automatic one-game suspension.
The NBA is investigating Hawks guard Dejounte Murray’s actions toward officials at the end of Game 4 Sunday night, a league source told ESPN.

Boston Celtics
Six Celtics scored in double-figures on Sunday with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown both registering 31 points.
Boston is averaging 120.5 points per game in the series. They haven’t even had to play defense to their full potential because the Hawks have allowed them to shoot 57.1% from the field and 44% from the perimeter in the series.
They did correct the biggest Game 3 issue winning the rebounding battle and while they still turned the ball over too often the Hawks weren’t able to make them pay for those miscues.

Free Atlanta Hawks vs. Boston Celtics NBA Prediction:
Of the seven series still in progress, the Celtics and Nuggets are so superior to their opponent they should’ve swept but got lackadaisical and took their eye off the prize.
Barring the sky falling they’ll both finish the task Tuesday via a Gentleman’s sweep.
Granted the spread is rich and the Celts are likely to jump on the Hawks from the tip building a huge lead which may lead to playing the reserves more, but I still like Boston to cover.
