Command Analysis
Boston Celtics
USACurrent form
The Celtics have demonstrated stability this season, occupying the second line of the Eastern Conference. Joe Mazzulla team experienced a small decline, but was able to quickly rehabilitate. In the last match, Boston left no chance to Orlando (121:94), showing a confident game on both halves of the parquet.
Jayson Tatum and Kristaps Porzingis continue to prove their high level, having scored 53 points between them in the previous game. The Celtics are smart both offensively and defensively, which makes them one of the main favorites in the conference.
The next game will also be played at home, where Boston feels especially confident. The support of the stands and the absence of personnel problems give the Celtics a significant advantage before the upcoming game.
Disqualifications and injuries
The team will take to the court with its optimal lineup.
Interesting facts for betting
The Celtics have won three of their last five home games.
Probable lineup: Tatum - Brown, Porzingis - White, Holiday.
Atlanta Hawks
USACurrent form
The Hawks are in seventh place in the Eastern Conference, but the team is experiencing difficulties due to the injury of their leader Trae Young. Despite this, Quin Snyder charges were able to get two victories in a row, beating Phoenix (122:117) and Chicago (110:94).
Keitan Wallace scored 27 points in the last game, taking over as the offensive leader. However, Young absence still affects the Hawks' overall scoring and organization.
The away game against Boston will be a serious test for Atlanta. The team intends to put up a fight against one of the leaders of the conference, but it will be extremely difficult to do so.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kobe Bufkin, Vit Krejci, Larry Ngncie Jr., Zachary Rizashe, Trae Young and Cody Zeller are all out of next game due to injury.
Interesting facts for betting
The Hawks have won 3 of their last 5 head-to-head matches.

Trends
Bet 1st quarter. Boston win
The Celtics have won in the first quarter in three of their last five head-to-head games.
1.47Bet 1st quarter: total under 59 points
Only 2 of the last 5 head-to-head games have seen more than 59 points scored in the first quarter.
1.94Tip and bets
Atlanta is gradually finding balance in the game, despite the loss of its main leader. Wins over Phoenix and Chicago showed that the team is capable of adapting to new conditions. However, a trip to Boston against such an organized opponent as the Celtics promises to be extremely difficult.
Boston has been playing consistently at home, demonstrating a high level of play both offensively and defensively. Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis and Jaylen Brown are in optimal shape, which makes the team the favorite in the upcoming match. We believe that the home arena factor and the current form of the Celtics will ensure their victory.
Our prediction is a Boston victory with a handicap of (-9) points for 1.72
Bet on total
Boston knows how to control the pace of the game and reduce the opponents' scoring. Atlanta, without Trae Young, also does not show high efficiency in attack. We assume that the match will be held at an average pace, and the total will not be broken.
Betting Tip - total under 237.5 points for 1.68
Bet on statistics
The Hawks will face a strong Celtics defense that rarely makes mistakes on its half of the court. The absence of Trae Young reduces the attacking potential of the visitors, so there is no point in counting on a productive match from Atlanta. We believe that the Hawks will not be able to beat their individual total.
Betting Tip - Atlanta individual total under 112.5 points for 1.98
