The Atlanta Hawks will travel to the TD Garden to face the Boston Celtics in game 5 of the first round in Eastern Conference Playoffs (7:30 p.m. ET, TNT). Atlanta needs a miracle to comeback int his series against a tough Boston team. This is it for the Hawks every game left in this series is win or go home for them. Now, down 3-1 in the series they have to travel back to Boston without Dejounte Murray because of suspension. Meanwhile, Boston is looking to close this series out at home in this game. They defeated the Hawks 129-121 in game 4. The Celtics have looked strong and the team to beat in the East. They look like they have what it takes to make another championship run, but this time finish the job.
Atlanta Hawks Basketball
Atlanta got a bad first round matchup as the seventh seed having to face the Celtics. They look legit this year with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown. Atlanta needs to do something to turn this series around. Now in game 5 they will be without Murray due to suspension. This means that Trae Yound will need to step up and have a huge performance for the Hawks. Look for them to come out strong with their backs on the wall and steal a game on the road from the Celtics.
The Atlanta Hawks have been led by Trae Young, who leads the team in points and assists. Young is averaging 26.8 points and 9.5 rebounds a game this series. His back court partner Dejounte Murray has been incredible this postseason averaging 25.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 5.8 assists a game. De’Andre Hunter has stepped up offensively for the Hawks this series averaging 16.8 points a game.
In their loss against the Celtics in game 4, Young did everything he could for the Hawks finishing with 35 points, 3 rebounds, and 15 assists. Murray also had a nice game with 23 points, 9 rbounds, and 6 assists. The problem tis whole series and even in this game is that they are only really getting scoring from those two players. Plus with no Murray in game 5, someone else will need to step up offensively to help Young out. In the loss, the Hawks shot 43.9% from the floor and 37.8% from the three-point line.

Hawks vs. Bulls Prediction
I love this prop in this game. I think Brown and Tatum will each have huge games in this series just like game 4. Tatum will get his share of points in this game, but Brown will also get his fair share of points too. We’ve seen that Tatum can go off for 30+ points and Brown can still score 27+ points. This is an easy bet for me because I think 26.5 points is too low for Brown. Make sure to lock this in before the game.
Hawks vs. Celtics Prop Pick: Jalyen Brown Over 26.5 points (-111).
