Before making any Celtics vs. Hawks picks, you NEED to check out the NBA predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every NBA game 10,000 times and has returned well over $9,000 in profit on its top-rated NBA picks over the past three-plus seasons. The model enters Week 5 of the 2021-22 NBA season up over $900 on all top-rated NBA picks this season. It's also on a stunning 113-75 roll on top-rated NBA picks against the spread that dates back to last season. Anyone following it has seen HUGE returns.

The model knows the Celtics are led by Jayson Tatum. Tatum is averaging 23.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game this season, and he is the centerpiece of the offense. Boston is also keyed by a strong defense, allowing only 1.04 points per possession. The Celtics are a top-eight team in shooting efficiency allowed, with the No. 4 mark in assists allowed at 20.9 per game. Boston is also excellent at limiting second-chance points and fast break points, ranking in the top six of the NBA in both categories. 

The model also knows the Hawks have a top-flight shot creator in Trae Young. Young is putting up 25.5 points and 9.1 assists per game and, when he is on the floor, Atlanta is an elite offensive team. The Hawks are averaging 1.25 points per possession in the last two games, and Atlanta takes care of the ball at a high level, committing only 12.7 turnovers per game. Atlanta is also strong on the glass, with a top-10 mark in offensive rebound rate and a top-five mark in second-chance points allowed on defense.

Now, it has set its sights on Celtics vs. Hawks. We can tell you the model is leaning under the total, and it also says one side of the spread hits in well over 60 percent of simulations! You ABSOLUTELY need to see it before locking in any NBA picks.
