Celtics vs Hawks: Tatum's Test

0:00On March 27th, the Boston Celtics host the Atlanta Hawks tonight at TD Garden, looking to keep their momentum after a strong win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday. Jason Tatum led the way with 19 points, 12 rebounds, and 7 assists in that victory, playing over 35 minutes as he shakes off. Rust from his recent return, Tatum has been a game-changer for Boston, with the team now 7 and 2 when he's on the floor this season. He's averaging 19.1 points and 9.2 rebounds per game. Jalen Brown is sideline with an injury, but Derek White and Nehemias Keta are good to go, keeping the Celtics close to full strength. Meanwhile, the Hawks have won several games since the All-Star break, but mostly against weaker teams. On the road lately, they got blown out by 22 points against the Houston Rockets and barely escaped with an overtime win over the Detroit. Experts see Boston covering the spread, even at around 7 and a half points, thanks to Tatum's upward trend in Home Court Edge at TD Garden.

1:02The total has dipped a bit due to injury concerns, but both teams' offenses could push it over 224 and a half. With Tatum eyeing another big night on rebounds and assists, this matchup shapes up as a test of Boston's depth against Atlanta's recent surge.
