Team records:<\/strong> Matchup: Hawks vs. Celtics<\/strong> Homecourt is a sight for sore eyes for the Celtics, as Boston just wrapped up a three-game road trip and played seven of its last eight away from home. That trip included a three-game losing streak, though the Celtics have since rebounded to win three of four, including Sunday\u2019s 114-107 win over the Raptors.<\/p>\n Rajon Rondo continues impressing as one of the league\u2019s best young point guards. He burned Toronto for a triple double (22 points, 13 assists, 10 rebounds) and brought a lot of energy to the floor. More important, though, was a big game by Rasheed Wallace. Kevin Garnett has missed five straight games with a knee injury and his replacement, Wallace, had been underwhelming until Sunday. Against the Raptors, Sheed looked like the dominant player that drove the Pistons over the past few years, pouring in 29 points, eight boards, two blocks and hitting five threes. The Hawks have rode the NBA\u2019s sixth-ranked offense this season, although it hasn\u2019t been as effective lately; Atlanta is averaging 103.4 points per game this year but, over the past six games, its managed just 94.4 points per outing. That could be trouble against Boston, which owns the NBA\u2019s second-highest-rated defense (93.5 PPG).<\/p>\n Head-to-head, Atlanta has held its own lately; the Hawks have won two straight over Boston (including a 93-85 win last Friday), both this season. That snapped a five-game regular season losing streak to the Celtics.<\/p>\n Trends:<\/strong><\/p>\n The total has gone UNDER in 10 of Atlanta’s last 14 games when playing on the road against Boston THE PICK<\/strong><\/p>\n Atlanta seems to have Boston\u2019s number this year, but the Hawks are playing uneven basketball right now. Their offense is lagging and, even though defensive presence Kevin Garnett won\u2019t be in the lineup, the Celtics should contribute even more problems.<\/p>\n Bet on Boston to get the win in front of a feisty home crowd.<\/p>\n Next up:<\/strong> Visit the Bet Menu at half-time to place your bet.
