One of two reasons...or combination of the both...

ATL playing B2B away Chicago then Boston

or

Vegas knows betting public hasn't caught up to ATL and their decent team yet.

Boston does create some matchup problems for the Hawks.

Line may not be a true line but its a good public line.

B2B makes no difference to a young team like the HAWKS. If anything it helps them IMO. Hawks create as much match up problems for the Celtics as the Celtics create for the Hawks. A young team that likes to run against an older team that prefers half court. This spread is too high I think.

Hawks +10.5

I simply think Boston rolls up the Hawks for having to hear all about how a sub .500 team took them to 7 games and blah blah blah

Revenge GOY anyone??? lmao

69% of the public is on Atlanta +10.5 and the line has moved from -10 (open) to -10.5 showing "big" money support on Boston to cover.

Boston -10.5 is the bet to be on.

I really dont understand why vegas setup this line, they knew public would hit the huge +10.5 line, and they did and they won.
Really, really strange. Atl was comming for the revenge game, 6-0 and still they get 0 respect.

Boston should never be favored against a team like the Hawks (young, quick, energetic) by more than 10 points, especially when the team is on a roll (6-0). Boston wins games by defensively shutting their opponent down. However they have lots of trouble doing so against a team like the Hawks.
