Scimia's Prediction: Jayson Tatum leads short-handed Boston to a comfortable victory over Atlanta.
The Boston Celtics will look to build on their impressive win over the Oklahoma City Thunder as they host the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night.Jayson Tatum back into the lineup, and that fully paid off on Wednesday, when he put up 19 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists while playing more than 35 minutes against the Thunder.
. The 28-year-old is averaging 19.1 ppg and 9.2 rebounds per game, and while his shooting touch isn’t quite there yet, he showed improvement against the Thunder there as well, going 3-for-6 from three-point range. The one thing that might make bettors question the Celtics tonight is the injury report. Jaylen Brown is out for tonight, which is a significant blow for Boston, but Derrick White and Neemias Queta will both be available after initial worries that the Celtics would be short-handed. continue to rack up wins since the All-Star break, but these wins have largely come against weaker competition. In their last two road games against quality opponents, t he Hawks lost by 22 points to the Houston Rockets, then beat the Detroit Pistons by a single point in overtimeAs hot as the Hawks are right now, the Celtics are a different team with Tatum on the court, and they showed how tough they’ll be to beat at TD Garden down the stretch on Wednesday. The shaky injury report for Boston has sent the total down several points in this game, and that’s enough for me to target the Over. The Hawks have hit the Over in five of their last six games, and there’s more than enough offensive talent on both sides to hit this number.Our"from downtown" SGP: Tatum Does it All! With Tatum coming off his best game since his return from injury, I’m backing the Celtics star to shine again tonight, especially with a potentially limited roster around him. I’ll add Tatum to pick up another double-double after recording three in his last four games. I also like him to get Over 5.5 assists after dishing out seven on Wednesday against the Thunder, and pick up Over 1.5 steals, which he’s done in two straight contests.: Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.

Since joining Covers in 2022, Ed has offered his sports betting analysis primarily on MLB, NFL, college football, and college basketball games, but is willing to take on any sport. His betting strategy focuses more on finding line value based on deviations from the market rather than traditional handicapping, primarily shopping between DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics in his home state of Connecticut, though he’s not afraid to do deep game analysis to find profitable bets at any book.

That experience has come in handy during the Olympics, when he has proven to be a successful curling bettor as well. Ed's advice to new bettors is to always open multiple sportsbook accounts and check the odds at each before placing any bet. Successful sports betting is about consistently beating the closing line value, which requires finding spots where one book is offering odds far better than the rest of the market and jumping on those opportunities.NBA Picks: Our Boosted NBA Moneyline Parlay Bet for March 27Jazz vs Nuggets Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight’s NBA GameCopyright © 1995 - 2026 CS Media Limited All Rights Reserved.
