Vegas Play of the Day: Atlanta Hawks at Boston Celtics

We've reset the Play of the Day with fresh bankrolls and turned it into a yearly competition. Our three sports writers have re-started with $10,000 bankrolls to continue using on odds from the South Point.

Boston Celtics plus-2.5 vs. Atlanta Hawks: $550 to win $500

The Celtics are at home tonight with their backs against the wall in this Eastern Conference first round series. Atlanta holds a 3-2 advantage after a 27-point home victory on Tuesday, and now it can earn the right to lose to Cleveland with a win tonight.

Atlanta is going to win this series because Boston disappears for too long to pull off back-to-back victories, but the Celtics are going to make the Hawks fight for everything tonight. Boston lost every game it played in Atlanta this season, but at home against the Hawks, it’s had only one loss. If No. 2 comes tonight, it’s going to be in the final minutes, and in that case, I’ll take the points.

Current Standings (as of July 1): Brewer (46-37-2, $12,005), Bern (30-37, $6,125), Keefer (43-54-2, $6,590)

Lifetime standings: 2014-15 Champion Bern (109-111-1), Brewer (115-124-4), Keefer (126-136-4)
