The Celtics-Hawks Game 5 betting line for the 2016 NBA Playoffs had Atlanta as a -7 point home favorite.
Both these teams had identical 48-34 Straight Up records and 42-39-1 Against The Spread records coming into Game 4. Entering Game 5, the series is now tied.
The home team has now won eight of the last ten in this series.
Isaiah Thomas' career-high 42 points helped Boston turn the tide with a 111-103 win in Game 3, and the All-Star guard scored 18 of his 28 during the second half and overtime as the Celtics rallied for a 104-95 victory in Sunday's Game 4.
Boston was able to overcome a 14-0 Hawks' run to begin the second half of Game 4.
"The most important thing for us, we got to start the games better, especially on the road," Thomas said. "If we start just halfway decent on the road we'll be alright."
The UNDER is 11-5 in the last 16 meetings in Atlanta. The total for this game is 198.
