Why Boston should win:  The home team in this series has won 8 of the last 10 while Boston has won 3 of the last 4 and 6 of the last 10 head-to-head.

The Celtics are 11-2 Against The Spread in their last 13 home games.

The Celtics are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning Straight Up record and are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games following a S.U. win.

Why you might want to be cautious – Trends lean heavily towards the Celtics, however, this is a Boston team that has only won 3 of their last 10 games.  Only two of those losses were at home and against solid teams:  Miami and New York.  Atlanta has lost 5 of their last 10. 

The Hawks are 4-0 Against The Spread in their last 4 road games.

The Hawks are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 vs. Eastern Conference.

The Celtics stormed back from a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit against the Cavaliers to avoid equaling the season-high six-game skid they suffered Jan. 16-25.

"It was a huge win," Pierce said. "We didn't play well from the second quarter on, but we found a way. It seemed like we were mentally fatigued and physically fatigued, but we put it all together at the end."

There is definitely some value betting on the Celtics here with the spread just -3.

Fantasy News

Al Horford could sit with illness

News: The Hawks report Friday that center Al Horford is doubtful for Friday's game at Boston. Horford is dealing with a stomach illness.

Analysis: Fantasy owners should check back prior to Friday's game against the Celtics to see if Horford is able to play, but it sounds like he will sit. If he does play then consider him a must-start Fantasy option in all leagues.
