Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Atlanta Hawks vs. Boston Celtics
Saturday, April 15, 2023 3:30 PM
Play: Point Spread: +9/-110 Atlanta Hawks
Take the Hawks and the points as our free pick on this one. Atlanta comes into this game riding high after their Play-In victory over the Miami Heat and this squad is a very interesting matchup for the Celtics, at least on paper. Atlanta has Dejounte Murray, De’Andre Hunter, and John Collins all available to make life hard for Brown and Tatum and the bench for Atlanta should be strong and athletic enough to keep up with the depth of the Celtics. Boston has had a lot of time to chill heading into the playoffs. The last time Boston’s starters played was back on April 7th and even then they played extremely limited minutes. I expect Tatum and Brown to possibly struggle in some spots and there is certainly a chance they might have a hard time with their jump shots. Boston in general is a team that is very dependent on the three and if they are a bit rusty and their shots aren’t falling this game could be a tough one for them. Take the pts with the ATL Hawks +9
