The Boston Celtics need a win in Atlanta over the Hawks to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals. But the hosts have their plans as well.
Before Betting on Celtics vs. Hawks
Boston had everything in its hands before Game 5, and during the same, we’ve seen the Cs leading by a double-digit. But Jayson Tatum’s absence in the moments when he needed to step up was the key reason why Joe Mazzulla’s crew lost at home.
Tatum’s form oscillates a lot in the playoffs, which is something uncharacteristic for him. He was 8-for-21 from the field, and made only one three in ten attempts. Jaylen Brown scored 35 points, Tatum had 19, and Derrick White one point fewer.
Trae drained a three for the 119-117 win, and he delivered 13 of his 38 points in the last couple of minutes, taking the responsibility on himself and finishing the job. Young had 13 assists as well.
Though, in the moments when Hawks struggled, John Collins and Bogdan Bogdanovic pushed the team, not allowing the hosts to break them, combining for 40 points. Bogi’s shooting percentages are excellent in the playoffs, 54.3% FG and 48.3% for three.

We are picking the hosts here, because of the swing and the momentum. We do know that Boston doesn’t mind about the venue and that the Cs play the same both on the road and at home, but their form is shaky. Therefore, taking on some risks might be rewarding.
