Celtics vs. Hawks Predictions
The Celtics won and covered in Game 1. They are clearly the better team aligned to win this series. There’s even a decent chance Boston completes the sweep.
The Hawks were miserable in the first half on Saturday, falling behind by 30 points at halftime. However, Atlanta came out and competed in the second half, ultimately losing by 13. Trae Young had a bad game while shooting 5-of-18 from the field and 1-of-5 from behind the arc.
Atlanta was blitzed from the jump on Saturday, but the Hawks probably won’t be caught flat-footed again. Young should have a better game this time around, and Atlanta could build on their second-half success from Saturday.
While the Hawks probably won’t win the game, there’s a good chance they cover this double-digit spread.
