- Game script (pace): Expect Atlanta Hawks to press pace where it can, while Boston Celtics tries to steady the game into longer trips. That initial tempo picture often follows the total outcome.
- Efficiency edge (side): The overall profile tilts toward Boston Celtics if it keeps possessions tidier and avoids live-ball mistakes. A couple added trips can turn the result.
- Late filters (availability + market): Treat late availability as the last screen, because role changes can shift shot quality and late-game defense. If the number moves, use it as a cue to confirm rather than pushing the original lean.
