After resting Thursday and Friday, the Hawks prepare to play the Celtics in Boston after splitting wins against them in November. Neither team was able to assert home-court advantage against the other team, and the Hawks got the better of the Celtics at TD Garden in a game where the bookmakers had the Celtics as 16-point favorites on their last visit.

In the betting odds, the defending champion Celtics, this season with a 28-12 record, remain the favorites to defend their ring despite the overwhelming form of the Thunder and Cavaliers. With a solid season from Tatum, who is quite active and averaging 27.7 points per game, the Celtics are shooting a 3PT field goal percentage of 45.7, an impressive percentage and once again the best in the NBA.

A high-scoring game is possible as the Hawks also stick to a quick possession game plan, boasting the third-fastest pace in the NBA and averaging 117.2 points per game. On Wednesday the Hawks with the help of Keaton Wallace managed to beat the Bulls by a score of 110-94, thus winning the last 2 games.
