The current betting odds have the Celtics listed as an 11.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Celtics have looked great in their games this season with their 38-12 record overall which has them right at the top of the East with one of the best records in the entire NBA. They have also looked great in their home games this year with their 23-3 home record. Meanwhile, the Hawks have looked terrible in their games this season with their 22-28 record overall which has them near the bottom of the East right now and barely fighting for a play-in spot for the playoffs. They have also looked bad in their road games all year with their 10-14 road record. The Hawks just lost their last game against the Clippers and they have been really up and down lately too, going 5-5 in their last 10 games. The Celtics are one of the best teams in the NBA this season and have been leading the league with the best record for most of the season as they have been very consistent in their games. They have also looked a lot better on their home court and just blew out another bad team in their win against the Grizzlies in their last game. The Celtics will continue to roll in this game. The best way to place a bet here is on the Celtics to cover the spread in this game.
