Atlanta Hawks at Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
Cleveland has found themselves in games with teams they were supposed to blow out more and more and this season has worn on. Case and point, Philadelphia. The Cavaliers could have lost the game outright after leading by 18 at halftime against the 76ers. The final score would be a margin of one point separating both squads. Atlanta will come in to this contest and try to control the ball complemented by sound defense. With respect to this, the Under is also tasty play given the fact the Hawks will be successful in slowing the game down unless Cleveland opens the contest up early. The state of Cleveland is all the more nebulous given the fact they are getting closer and closer to a defeat against teams they are forecasted to trounce setting up takers for a huge potential let-down especially in Money Line markets. Cleveland at home is a premium play and thus the price here is likely inflated, perfect time to take the points and the Hawks.
Free Pick:
Take Atlanta +8.5 and Under 207
