Celtics vs. Hawks Predictions

The Hawks are unraveling. They lost 129-121 in Game 4 at home, but then SG Dejounte Murray got into an altercation with the refs.

The NBA is reportedly investigating this situation, and there’s a chance Murray will be suspended for Game 5 on Tuesday. You’ll definitely want to pay attention to the news on that front while moving closer to tip-off on Tuesday.

UPDATE: Murray has been suspended for Game 5.

Atlanta had an uphill climb to begin with, but Murray’s potential absence makes that even steeper.

The Hawks are 1-5 against the spread in their last six games. The Celtics are 5-0 in their last five home games.

This has all the makings of a closeout game for the Celtics, who have the potential to grab an early lead and run away with the series-clinching win at home. Take Boston!
