Atlanta has dominated Boston as of late, winning four of their previous five encounters, including the previous three, but the Hawks will have a tall task this time around.

Hawks vs Celtics Betting Pick
This game will be played at TD Garden at 2:00 PM ET on Sunday, February 13, 2022.
Why Bet The Celtics:
✅ Boston is one of the hottest teams in the league. The Celtics have won nine of their previous ten games at any location, including the previous seven. During that seven-game stretch, the Celtics have dominated their opponents, surrendering only 95.0 points a night. Furthermore, Boston has dropped just three of its last 12 games played at TD Garden. The Hawks, on the other side, have gone 2-4 SU and ATS over their last six outings.
✅ The Celtics’ defense has been ridiculously good lately. In its last seven tilts, Boston has allowed only 95.8 points per 100 possessions on 39.2% shooting from the field and 29.4% from beyond the 3-point line. Those are some crazy numbers, as the Celtics have kept their rivals below a 94-point mark in four of their last six contests.

✅ Just a couple of weeks ago, Atlanta defeated Boston 108-92 as a 1.5-point home fave. The Hawks outlasted the Celtics 28-15 in the fourth quarter to extend their winning streak to six games. Since then, the Hawks have gone 3-4 straight up, while the Celtics have emerged victorious in all of their seven showings.
Atlanta Hawks
The Hawks are coming off a heavy 136-121 home loss to the San Antonio Spurs this past Friday. Only three days after a 133-112 dismantling of the Indiana Pacers, the Hawks fell apart on the defensive end, allowing the Spurs to make 55.6% of their field goals and 56.3% of their 3-pointers. Bogdan Bogdanovic led the way for Atlanta with 23 points off the bench, while Trae Young accounted for 18 points and 11 assists.
John Collins suffered a heel injury last Friday, and he’s questionable to play Sunday against the Celtics. Collins has averaged 15.2 points and 7.8 rebounds over his past ten games. If he hits the sidelines Sunday, Danilo Gallinari will get some extra minutes at four.
Boston Celtics
The Celtics are coming off a 108-102 home victory to the Denver Nuggets last Friday. They narrowly failed to cover a 6.5-point spread, overcoming a seven-point fourth-quarter deficit. Jayson Tatum led the charge with 24 points, six rebounds, five assists, and three steals; Marcus Smart added 22 points, seven boards, and five steals, while Robert Williams posted a double-double of 15 points and 16 rebounds.
Boston is finally healthy and ready to roll. The Celtics occupy the seventh spot in the East, half a game behind the surging Raptors and two games ahead of the eighth-seeded Brooklyn Nets.
