Atlanta is 0-4 Under last 4 playoff games as a favorite and 0-6 Under last 6 Conference Quarterfinals games. Over is 4-0 in Celtics last 4 games after scoring less than 75 points in their previous game. Boston is 1-6 Under last 7 games as an underdog of 0.5-4.5, 1-5 Under last 6 Conference Quarterfinals games, 2-7 Under last 9 games following a S.U. loss, 3-8 Under last 11 games playing on 1 days rest and 3-7 Under last 10 overall. Boston will play tonight’s game without Rajon Rondo, who is suspended for one game after bumping an official in Game 1. They depend so much on Rondo for his passing and leadership, that will be a tough loss and it looks like Ray Allen (ankle) still is not ready to play. So expect Boston to slow this game down and try and win it win with defense. They can’t keep up with the Hawks if they get in a running game without Rondo.
