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.

Atlanta Hawks at Cleveland Cavaliers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Atlanta Hawks at Cleveland Cavaliers odds and lines, with NBA expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Atlanta Hawks (43-39 regular season) visit Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse Friday to take on the Cleveland Cavaliers (44-38 regular season). Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Hawks vs. Cavaliers odds and lines, and make our expert NBA picks, predictions and bets.

The Hawks are coming in following a 132-102 play-in tournament victory over the Charlotte Hornets. Led by G Trae Young, who scored 24 points, the Hawks had six players score in double figures and easily covered as 5.5-point favorites.

Atlanta was 37-45 against the spread (ATS) in the regular season. It was 14-27 ATS away from home and 8-9 ATS as a road favorite.

Cleveland had a much more difficult task of going on the road and facing the Brooklyn Nets to kick off the play-in tournament. The Nets won 115-108 behind a combined 59 points from G Kyrie Irving and F Kevin Durant.

The Cavs were led by G Darius Garland, who scored 34 points. F Kevin Love chipped in 14 points and a team-high 13 rebounds. The Cavs were 42-37-3 ATS in the regular season and 9-5-1 ATS as home underdogs.

Hawks at Cavaliers picks and predictions

Prediction

Cavaliers 115, Hawks 112

Money line

LEAN to the CAVALIERS (+110).

I would lock this price in now as it seems like one which suggests C Jarrett Allen is going to be out. There seems to be hope that he’ll play and that could move this line to a more typical -110 tag for the Cavaliers.

Atlanta was 16-25 on the road this season, and it’ll be down its second-best scoring option with Collins sidelined. Cleveland is 25-16 at home.

The Cavaliers’ main weakness is in their turnover issue. However, Atlanta isn’t likely to be able to abuse that as it ranks 28th in opponents’ turnover rate. It also isn’t dominant on the offensive glass, another weakness for Cleveland.

Considering the plus-money value, I’d take Cleveland here.

Against the spread

BET on the CAVALIERS +2.5 (-115).

For all the reasons above, the Cavs feel like the better play here. With a couple of points on the spread, this is the preferred way to play this battle for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.

According to pregame.com at the time of writing 80% of the money is on the Hawks with 69% of the tickets. The market has responded by increasing the spread to 2.5 from the opener of 1.5.

The pro-Atlanta money may continue to roll in until Allen’s status is announced. Even if Allen doesn’t play, I’d be comfortable backing the +2.5 for the Cavaliers.

Cleveland is 22-17-2 ATS at home this season.

Over/Under

PASS with a slight lean to the Over 222.5 (-110).

The Hawks are ranked eighth in pace and seventh in offensive rating over their last 15 games. Atlanta should be able to score easily if Allen is out.

Three of the four times these two teams have met the final total has gone over 235. This feels relatively low, and if you want to back Atlanta, hitting the Over makes sense.

Hawks at Cavaliers odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Hawks 126, Cavaliers 110

Money line

The Hawks (-350) will cost you three and a half times your potential return, and that’s too risky for a road team, even against a Cavaliers (+265) team playing the second end of a back-to-back.

AVOID, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

The HAWKS -7.5 (-107) are worth a look, as the Cavaliers +7.5 (-115) have dropped each of their first two games by exactly 11 points.

Cleveland will be playing with the quick turnaround, and even for a young team early in the season, that’s a difficult obstacle to overcome. Bank on the road team.

Over/Under

The OVER 222.5 (-110) is the play, as the Cavaliers have really struggled defensively across the first two games. And that’s playing with regular rest. With a quick turnaround in less than 24 hours against a tough team, the Cleveland D is going to get bludgeoned yet again.

Hawks at Cavaliers: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Hawks 122, Cavaliers 111

Money line (ML)

The Hawks (-275) are a sub-.500 team with a 6-8 SU record on the road this season. They are a better team that the Cavaliers (+225), yes, but they have no business laying this kind of number against anyone, especially on the road. PASS.

Against the spread (ATS)

The HAWKS -6.5 (-115) have had a difficult time over the years against the Cavaliers +6.5 (-105), failing to cash in each of the past five meetings in this series. However, Atlanta has cashed in six of their past eight as a favorite, while going 7-3 ATS in the past 10 against teams with a losing overall record.

On the flip side, Cleveland has failed to cover in 13 straight games dating back to Jan. 27, and the Cavs are 5-17 ATS in the past 22 games as an underdog.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 228.5 (-110) has hit in eight in a row for Atlanta, including 4-0 in their past four games on the road. Cleveland was playing outstanding defense early in the season, but injuries have hurt them and their D has suffered. The Over is 11-2 in the past 13 against a team with a losing straight up record, while going 5-1-1 in the past seven on a day of rest.

In this series, the Over is 23-9 in the past 32 meetings, while going 21-8 in the previous 29 meetings in Northeast Ohio.
