Smart Game Analysis
Boston Celtics has a 68% chance of winning the game
Boston's elite defense and home-court advantage should stifle the streaking Hawks, even without Jayson Tatum.
Key Analysis
- • Jayson Tatum is out recovering from an Achilles repair, forcing Jaylen Brown to carry the primary scoring load.
- • The Hawks are missing key big man Kristaps Porzingis due to Achilles tendinitis, weakening their interior defense against his former team.
- • Boston's second-ranked defense (109.9 PPG allowed) poses a difficult challenge for an Atlanta offense averaging 117.8 points.
- • The Celtics dominated the only previous matchup this month with a decisive 132-106 victory.
- • Atlanta enters on a three-game winning streak, driven by Jalen Johnson's all-around play (23.0 PPG, 10.4 RPG).
- • Boston holds a significant rebounding advantage, grabbing 44.8 boards per game compared to Atlanta's 42.2.
- • To pull an upset, the Hawks must exploit Boston's depth issues by pushing the pace and generating turnovers.
