This is an 8* on OVER

The Hawks have gone Over the total in six consecutive games, the most recent being a 122-114 win here in Boston Wednesday night. They look to make it two straight in Beantown tonight and we look for them to make it seven straight Overs. This team has put up a minimum of 112 points in its last six games while at the same time allowing no fewer than 114 in every game. They ripped the Celtics the other night, shooting 57.1% overall. Trae Young had 40 points on 14 of 20 shooting. Boston’s defense, particularly in transition, has not been good the last week or so. But we think their shooting (43.9% L10 games) is set to improve. Specifically look for Jayson Tatum to have a good game tonight. The team’s second leading scorer at 24.6 points/game, Tatum has made only 39.2% the L10 games. But he still scored 35 points on Wednesday. The Over is 12-4 in the Celtics previous 16 games off an ATS loss. Play on OVER
