Boston heads to Atlanta having won 3 of their last 4 games. Which included a revenge 98-92 win over the Cavs after they fell apart in the 4th quarter against the same team a few games previously. There will be personal motivation for Dennis Schroder in this matchup as he was a first-round pick by the Hawks in 2013. Without Jaylen Brown on the court, he’s started 5 games in a row and should enjoy a good matchup against Trae Young.<\/span><\/p>\n Atlanta have improved their home record to 5-1 after beating the Magic and Bucks by 20 points. They’ve now won 12 in a row against East opponents on their home court and will look to continue the streak against Boston on Thursday. It’s been a slow start to the new season for the Hawks, highlighted by 6 defeats in a row and a disaster Western conference tour. But as mentioned, the Hawks have been much better at home compared to on the road.<\/span><\/p>\n The overall trend between the Hawks and Celtics has been high scoring affairs and we like it here as well. In the last 5 meetings, the Over is 4-1 and it’s also 5-2 when they play in Atlanta.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n The Hawks are 5-1 in their last 6 home games. Boston also holds a 5-1 record at this venue.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\n The Celtics have won 8 of the last 10 meetings since 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n Best Bet<\/b><\/p>\n Over 212.5 = $1.78<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n While the Lakers have won 3 of their last 5 games, they come off a bad loss to the Bulls 121-103. One of the areas of concern for LA was their 3 point shooting as they converted just 6 of 32 attempts. However, Talen Horton-Tucker has made an excellent return from injury and comes off a career-high 28 points. There is a chance LeBron can return from injury. But if not, Anthony will get the start and Horton-Tucker should be dangerous with high minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n Milwaukee begins a 5 game homestand against the Lakers and they’ll be looking to break a 2 game losing streak. While Giannis returned against the Hawks, he couldn’t stop the likes of Trae Young as the Hawks recorded a comfortable 20 point win. In more positive news, Khris Middleton should be able to return for this matchup.<\/span><\/p>\n This looks like a good spot for the Lakers to get back on track. Milwaukee has struggled at home this season and has missing pieces throughout their starting lineup. Los Angeles should also be highly motivated after getting thrashed by the Bulls last time out.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n Milwaukee has won 19 of their last 24 home games. The Lakers have a poor 2-8 record in Milwaukee.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\nLos Angeles Lakers (8-7) at Milwaukee Bucks (6-8)<\/b><\/h3>\n
