Out of the gate, the public is keen on Cleveland. Such is to be expected with a team of Cleveland’s caliber and the personnel that comprise their starting five.

Atlanta Hawks at Cleveland Cavaliers Pick
Situational betting is a big part of what we practice and preach. The fact remains when you get a team like Atlanta who is in poor form and compare them to the likes of Cleveland who looks more and more like the juggernaut we see on a regular basis, there is an opportunity to snag some extraordinary value. When backing the Cavaliers, a hidden premium is inflicted on takers in any market regardless of the location of venue. This is especially true when their opponent is classed as weaker. However, Atlanta does not seem to think so. If there has been a team within the East that has been a pest for this outfit, it is indeed the Atlanta Hawks. That is why we have to step in and snag the Hawks with a likely inflated number.
Free Pick:
Take Atlanta +10.5
