NBA OFFICIAL PLAY

ATS - HAWKS +1.5 (x1.5)

Fading the Celtics here in this spot again. On B2B games on the road especially after a win. Much the same angle as the Pacers game we won on a few days ago. The old legs of the Celtic's just don't cope. They have some injury concerns as per usual as well with Krstic, Murphy and J. O'Neal all doubtful. This leaves their big men department a little short with Shaq still on the sidelines. Not a good situation especially against Atlanta as they have been known to play tall. Last start against Orlando they actually started with Collins, Horford and Smith just to stretch the Magic. I expect the same tactics again here tonight. Atlanta have found form winning their last 3 including that impressive win against Orlando last start. Expect their confidence to be up and they will be well rested. This is a double revenge spot for the Hawks, They will be keen to notch up a win to close out the series. Hawks to be switched on tonight and take care of the tired Celtics.
