Boston Celtics vs Atlanta Hawks Analysis
Big game between the Celtics and Hawks tonight, and it’s a great game for prop betting as there are plenty of big names to take a look at. Let’s take a look at the numbers and find some good prop bets!
Boston Celtics vs Atlanta Hawks Team Totals Props
Atlanta gets a team total of 109.5 while Boston comes in at 116.5. Atlanta has scored 108 and 127 since the break, and they’ve played Boston twice in the last month and they didn’t get over 109.5 in either of those games so I lean under for the Hawks.
Favorite team total is Boston under 116.5. They’ve scored under this total in their last two, and they’ve scored 105 and 92 against Atlanta the last two times they played.
Boston plays at the 8th lowest pace and Atlanta is only 16th in pace of play. I expect a slower game between two teams who know each other well.
Prediction: Boston Celtics under 116.5
Boston Celtics vs Atlanta Hawks Player Props
Trae Young to have a double double is +120, and it’s worth a sprinkle as he’s gotten there in both games since returning from the all-star break, and he had a double double last time out against Boston.
I think Robert Williams is a play at over 22.5 PRA. He’s gone over in six out of eight games, and the two unders he had were blowouts where he played limited minutes.
Last game against Atlanta he had 10-14-1 in 36 minutes. If he gets 36 minutes tonight he should get over this total. My favorite prop is Marcus Smart over 21.5 PRA.
Take out the game he got injured in, and he’s gone over this total in five out of six with the one under being a game against Detroit where he played lower minutes.
He’s gone over this total in all three games against Atlanta this season including a 26 PRA and 25 PRA performance in each of the last two games they’ve played.
Prediction: Marcus Smart over 21.5 points+rebounds+assists
