ASA play on Boston Celtics -9.5 at Atlanta Hawks, 7:45 PM ET - The Hawks aren’t in a good scheduling situation here having played last night in New Orleans. The Hawks won that game 126-111 after shooting 58%, well above expectations. Atlanta lacks depth and only 8 players saw time last night. Boston is coming off a pair of double-digit wins in Charlotte and currently own an average +/- of plus 11.7PPG. Last season this Celtics team had a plus/minus of +10.7PPG for the season. The Celtics have not forgotten two late season losses to this Hawks team by 2-points in regulation and by 1-point in OT and will be focused tonight. Last season when the Celtics had a rest advantage over their opponent, they were 17-13-1 ATS and won those games by an average of +14.5PPG. Atlanta was 5-10 ATS last season when playing without rest. Atlanta’s lack of depth right now and having to play their 3rd game in four nights is a bad recipe for success against a motivated Boston team. Lay it.
