The fans at Philips Arena will the Boston Celtics and the Atlanta Hawks when they take their seats on Monday night. The game will be telecast locally be each team. Tip-off is set for 7:30 pm EST.
Oddsmakers opened the Celtics as -8-point favorites versus the Hawks, while the game’s total opened at 204. The line is still Boston -8 and the total has inched up to 204.5.
The Celtics take an eight-game winning streak into tonight’s game.. They look like a team that will be challenging for the Eastern Conference title despite losing Gordon Hayward. Hayward was lost to a gruesome broken ankle in the opener.
Kyrie Irving has been instant offense for the Celtics. The key for the Celtics, though, has been their stingy defense. Boston has allowed 94 points or fewer in every game of the winning streak.
Fromer Hawk, Al Horford, has been turning in his usual solid games. He had 14 points, 10 rebounds and four assists Sunday Boston’s 104-88 victory at Orlando. That is right on his season averages.
Hawks Coming off Huge Upset of Cavs on Sunday
The Hawks won Sunday for the first time since their season opener at Dallas. They beat the Cavaliers in Cleveland 117-115 to snap an eight-game losing streak. This was hopefully a kick-start to a young team as they won despite missing five players with injuries.
Dennis Schroder had 28 points and nine assists. The Hawks got key contributions from almost everyone available. Luke Babbitt and Taurean Prince each scored 17 points. Kent Bazemore and Isaiah Taylor had 14 points each. John Collins added 12 points and 13 rebounds.
The Hawks won two of the three games against the Celtics last season. lThe only loss was in Horford’s first game back in Atlanta.
