Boston Celtics vs. Atlanta Hawks prediction, odds, TV channel
There’s momentum for the Boston Celtics right now off the strength of two dominant wins against the Washington Wizards and Sacramento Kings.
Are those formidable opponents? Well, not as of late. Both teams have cooled off considerably after surprisingly hot starts.
But tonight’s opponent, while not overall in 2021-22 record-wise, is quite formidable. The Atlanta Hawks have won four straight games against projected postseason teams and have flourished since the Cam Reddish trade and the decision on the part of Nate McMillan to start his five best players.
Do the Boston Celtics make this a winning streak while putting an end to the Hawks’ own winning streak, who sit two games behind them in the standings?
Hardwood Houdini has a prediction, odds, and TV information for the Friday night affair:

Celtics vs. Hawks prediction
These two teams will be fully healthy heading into tonight’s game. That is, if you don’t include P.J. Dozier and Bol Bol, who were recently acquired by trade–and are rumored to be rerouted to the Oklahoma City Thunder–but may not play again this season.
The last time these two teams played at the State Farm Arena, Atlanta was in full control the entire time. That could be the case this time.
Unless Jayson Tatum has something to say about it.
Tatum is en fuego this week, and Jaylen Brown likewise scored 30 points during the C’s win Wednesday against the Kings. The Houdini is backing Boston at plus money.
