Atlanta Hawks vs Boston Celtics Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
An early season clash at the top of the Eastern Conference sees the Boston Celtics heading south to take on the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena for this Wednesday NBA matchup. The Celtics currently sit atop the East with a stellar 11-3 record in the early stages of the 2022/23 season. A win over the Thunder in their last outing has now made it seven straight victories for Boston, by far the longest active streak in the league. Hoping to put an end to their run is a Hawks team also experiencing a positive start to the season. Atlanta is 9-5 on the season after a big win against the Bucks, placing them third in the East standings.

Recent history between these two teams have seen the home team winning each encounter while also successfully covering the spread. The home team is 6-0 the last six times that these two teams have met. The Celtics have seen a dramatic shift in their team focus this season, shooting up to the top scoring team in the league but also seeing their defensive numbers take a dramatic dip.

Atlanta Hawks & Boston Celtics Squad Analysis
The real difference for Atlanta this season has been on the defensive side of the ball, with the acquisition of elite on-ball defender Dejounte Murray no doubt a huge catalyst for the dramatic change. For the Celtics, the shift away from the defensive focus has been surprising although the absence of Robert Williams III has been a huge reason for the drop in their defensive numbers. Jayson Tatum is playing at an MVP level and has this offense playing as one of the best units in the league.

Our Atlanta Hawks vs Boston Celtics Prediction
We’re going to back the home underdogs here and take the Hawks on the +3 point spread. It’s difficult to pick against this Boston team at the moment with the way they have been playing but the Hawks have shown enough this season to make them worthy of ending their opponents winning streak and recording another home victory. The Celtics have enjoyed getting into shootouts with other teams this season but will have to be wary of this Hawks team who can match them every step of the way.
