This is a potential Eastern Conference Final matchup as the Hawks are hosting the Celtics tonight. Atlanta is a solid home team and they are a real danger for the Celtics seven-game winning streak. A potential win for the Hawks will boost their confidence even more and they will go with high intensity in this game. The Celtics are the best scoring team in the league averaging 120 points per game but they will go under it in this one. The Hawks are 10th in the league with 115.6. This will be a tight game from the very start with many lead changes and not as many points as usual. Both teams, especially the Celtics, are known for longer possessions and that will lead to a low-scoring game. Given that, I recommend placing a bet on under 120 total points in the first half.
