Play On: Boston -2.5 (5*)

The red-hot Boston Celtics will enter this contest riding a 7-game win streak. They’ll be facing an Atlanta team coming off a 121-106 win at Milwaukee as a 4.5-point underdog.

NBA road favorites versus an opponent (Atlanta) coming off a road underdog SU upset win by 10 points or more resulted in those road favorites going 50-11 SU since 2018, and with an average victory margin of 9.0 points per contest. Considering the small number we are being asked to cover, the SU results in this precise situation takes on added significance.

Give me Boston minus the small number.
