Hawks started at three-and-a-half over the magic, bumped to four-and-a-half, total 2.32-and-a-half. Celtics bounced back after dropping one to Atlanta, where Jalen Brown dropped 29, but called it trash. Jason Tatum's cleared him back, making Boston near full strength. They've owned Miami lately. Heat fresh off beating Philly, but this matchup means way more to them in the playoff hunt. Magic clawed a win last night, but faced back-to-back grind, sitting eighth in a tight race with Miami.
