Cavaliers at Hawks: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Hawks 121, Cavaliers 117
Money line (ML)
The Hawks (-275) should be able to push past the Cavaliers, who are cooling off after a hot 3-0 start. However, risking nearly three times your potential return on a team which struggles so much defensively is not advised. AVOID.
Against the spread (ATS)
The CAVALIERS +6.5 (-110) are the play. You’ll be going with the series trends here as the Cavs are 4-0 ATS in the past four head-to-head meetings. They’re also 7-3 ATS in their past 10 trips to the ATL.
Over/Under (O/U)
OVER 233.5 (-110) is the play, but very, very lightly. The series trends point to an Over, going 23-8 in the previous 31 meetings, although a lot of personnel has changed during that span. The Over is 4-1 in the past five in Atlanta. What drives this wager, though, is Atlanta’s high-scoring ways, and lack of defense.
