FanDuel (1.5u). Luka Garza finds himself in a unique spot tonight. Not only are the Celtics resting Jayson Tatum, but both Neemias Queta and Nikola Vucevic are also sitting tonight, leaving Garza to absorb the bulk of the big man minutes. The Hawks have been excellent defensively, but the one area they do struggle is down low, ranking 28th against roll men and 23rd overall against points in the restricted area. Even if the Celtics pivot and go with smaller rotations (which I do expect due to the lack of front-court depth tonight), Garza should still clear this line in his normal minute allotment, let alone any extended looks.
The Hawks have won 12 straight home games, and they have a clean injury report entering Monday's showdown with Boston. It's a quick revenge spot for Atlanta, which fell 109-102 in Boston on Friday. The Celtics won in Charlotte on Sunday without Jaylen Brown or Derrick White, while the Hawks rested. Jayson Tatum poured in 32 points on 12-of-23 shooting, adding eight assists. It's unclear if Tatum will play on the second night of a back-to-back, and whether Brown and White will return; the Celtics' injury report has not been released. Either way, I like the young Hawks to stay hot at home.
