76ers Playoff Watch: Celtics vs. Hawks Odds & Prediction Game 3

Following the Philadelphia 76ers’ Game 3 win over the Brooklyn Nets, two Eastern Conference teams will battle it out on Friday night. Similar to the Sixers, the Celtics have an opportunity to keep their postseason win streak alive in Game 3.

So far, the first-round series between the Celtics and the Hawks has been similar to the Philly-Brooklyn battle. As it’s clear Boston is currently in control of the series, they swept the first two games on their home court at TD Garden.

Now, the Celtics will have an opportunity to pay a visit to the Hawks in Atlanta. This season, the Celtics paid a visit to the Hawks just one time. The matchup occurred on April 9. At the time, Boston picked up a six-point victory, winning 120-114.

With that win over the Hawks, the Celtics increased their regular season win streak over the Hawks to five straight. With the Hawks being at home this time around, they aren’t labeled as heavy underdogs. However, Atlanta has to make a statement in Game 3, or else they’ll have their backs against the wall, facing a potential sweep scenario.
