Hawks at Cavaliers picks and predictions
Prediction
Cavaliers 116, Hawks 112
Moneyline
With Cleveland being the home team, give me CAVALIERS (-135) in Monday’s contest. The Cavaliers have gone 5-1 at home this season, so they’ve done well to defend their home court.
Against the spread
All we need for Cleveland to cover the spread is to win by at least one 3-pointer, so CAVALIERS -2.5 (-110) is an intriguing wager. C Clint Capela has presented problems for undersized teams this season, but Cleveland has C Jarrett Allen and F Evan Mobley to rebound and protect the paint.
The Hawks are 8-25 ATS in their last 33 road games against a team with a winning home record. Also, Atlanta is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 road meetings with Cleveland.
Over/Under
OVER 224.5 (-110) is the ideal choice in this game with both teams having plenty of capable scorers. Cleveland boasts the NBA’s 5th-best offensive rating while Atlanta owns the 16th-best offensive rating.
The Over is 6-1 in the last 7 home games for the Cavaliers against a team with a winning road record while the Hawks have hit the Over in 6 of their last 7 road games. On top of that, the Over is 15-5 in the last 20 meetings between the Hawks and the Cavaliers when the game is in Cleveland.
