Atlanta Hawks (37-45) vs. Boston Celtics (66-16)

Wednesday, April 23rd --- TD Banknorth Garden, Boston --- 8:00pm EST

NBA Betting Line: Boston -15 (189)

Well so much of the Hawks online basketball betting +10000 chances of winning this series. The Celtics had a -16 spread and demolished Horford’s Hawks 104-81. To say that Boston isn’t ready to crank out the brooms is slightly ridiculous. And with another double-digit spread staring the Hawks betting faithful in the face, do you think a team that is 1-5 ATS in the last 6 games has a chance?

It’s painfully obvious that Atlanta isn’t at Boston’s level yet. However, these Celtics are one of the best teams ever assembled. Their betting faithful have ridden the train throughout the year with a 52-28-2 ATS record as favorites. That makes them a tough bet against a Hawks team that is clearly outmatched.

Kevin Garnett took home Defensive Player of the Year honors, but his offensive output can’t be overshadowed either. The Hawks are pitting Josh Smith and Horford against him, and neither seriously can block his passionate instinct, or his insane arsenal of moves. With 18.8 points and 9.2 rebounds per game, KG is a force on both ends of the court and his infectious winning attitude is spreading throughout the entire roster.

Bet faithfully on Boston tooling Atlanta tonight, despite my love of double-digit spreads, I really can’t see Boston giving Atlanta any room to hope. This is a learning curve for Atlanta. So welcome to the school of Hard Knox. Class is in session.
