Game Preview
The Boston Celtics are currently leading the playoff series against the Atlanta Hawks with a 2-0 lead. As they head on the road for the next game, Atlanta knows that they must win Game 3 to keep their hopes alive. However, the Hawks have not been a threat in the series so far, losing by 13 points in each game. Even though Atlanta has a historically positive ATS role for home teams down 0-2 in the series, I’m not sure they have shown enough to threaten the Celtics for an outright win.
In Game 2, the Celtics were not as dominant as they were in Game 1, but they still managed to win by 13 points. Boston has a talented trio of scorers – Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Derrick White – that the Hawks struggle to defend against. Furthermore, the Celtics’ defense has held Atlanta to a low shooting percentage from behind the arc, which makes them a challenging matchup for the Hawks.
Boston has struggled on the road this year, which may give Atlanta supporters hope. However, the Hawks have been forced to play outside their comfort zone due to the early deficits they have faced in the series. As a result, they have relied heavily on shooting threes, but they are not a great three-point shooting team. In contrast, the Celtics excel at shooting threes, making it difficult for the Hawks to catch up in games.
