76ers Playoff Watch: Celtics vs. Hawks Game 5 Odds & Prediction

After sweeping the Brooklyn Nets in the first round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs, the Philadelphia 76ers are patiently waiting to find out who they will play in round two this season.

The Sixers are slated to face the Boston Celtics or the Atlanta Hawks. The first-round series between Atlanta and Boston could end as early as Tuesday night.

Currently, the Celtics hold a 3-1 lead over Atlanta. During Games 1 and 2, which took place in Boston, the Celtics took care of business with ease.

When the series went back to Atlanta, the Hawks stunned the Celtics and collected their first win of the 2023 NBA Playoffs.

However, Atlanta couldn’t ride the momentum of their Game 3 win. When the Celtics and the Hawks returned to State Farm Arena on Sunday night, the Celtics found similar success as their first two games in the series against Atlanta. Now, the Hawks’ backs are against the wall as they trail two games and are facing elimination.

Unfortunately for the Hawks, they are in a tough spot. Not only are they back on the road where they lost the first two games, but they’ll take on the Celtics without their veteran guard Dejounte Murray as he’s suspended for Game 5 due to making contact with an official during Game 4.

Will Trae Young and the Hawks be able to pull off the upset? Or will the Celtics punch their ticket to the second round to host the Sixers on Saturday?
