The Boston Celtics have covered the spread in 5 of their last 6 meetings with the Atlanta Hawks. Atlanta has played well as of recent but let’s not forget that they are tanking and looking forward to the future while the Celtics are fighting for a top playoff spot. Kyrie Irving has given the Celtics mixed emotions throughout the season, but I think he gets focused on getting this team a win in this one. Boston wins and covers, 118-106.
