Hawks vs. Celtics Predictions
Atlanta will get guard Dejounte Murray back in the lineup, as he was suspended for the last game after bumping into an official. Will that be enough to put the Hawks over the top once again?
It feels like the Celtics have been sleepwalking through this series. Perhaps they underestimated the Hawks after a pair of decisive wins to open the series. It’s safe to say that Atlanta has their attention now.
Boston doesn’t want to face an elimination Game 7, even if it’s played in Boston. Anything can happen in a one-game setting, so the Celtics are motivated to put away the series on Thursday night.
Because of that, Boston should come out with more energy and discipline, similar to what we saw in Game 1 and Game 2. The Celtics’ three wins in this series were all by eight or more points. This is the time when they put their foot on the gas pedal and move on to the next round. Take the Celtics to win and cover the spread!
