Atlanta Hawks (20-23) and Boston Celtics (25-15) will clash in the Eastern Conference on Saturday night at the State Farm Arena. The Hawks have been inconsistent this season, sitting in the 10th spot with a .465 win percentage. Against the Celtics, they’ll want to bounce back from their 16-point loss to the Trail Blazers on Thursday night. Disappointingly, this was their second straight loss, having suffered a 25-point defeat to the Lakers earlier in the week.

Boston Celtics, on the other hand, are second in the standings, just 4.5 games behind the Pistons at the top. They leapfrogged the Knicks to second place after the Knickerbockers lost to the Warriors on Thursday night. At the same time, the Celtics bounced back from their two-game slump, edging out the Heat 114-119. One thing is clear; they must be more consistent to win back the championship at the end of the season.

Our Atlanta Hawks vs Boston Celtics Prediction

We expect a competitive matchup because Boston Celtics haven’t really blown away their opponents this season. Their attack is partly to blame for their inconsistency, as they have averaged 116.6 PPG. In the last three games, they have scored an average of 103.33 points. Boston has also been underwhelming against the spread lately, posting a 1-4 record over the last five games. This should motivate the Hawks, who are 3-2 ATS in their previous five home games, to go for the win. But they may struggle against Boston’s well-organized defense, which is second in the NBA with 110.1 PAPG. This should limit Atlanta’s chances and help the visitors get the vital win.
