The Line: Betting Odds: Cleveland Cavaliers -12.5 — Over/Under:
The Atlanta Hawks and the Cleveland Cavaliers collide at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on Wednesday night. Here’s an Atlanta Hawks vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction. This article will include an Atlanta Hawks vs Cleveland Cavaliers Pick.
Atlanta HawksÂ
The Atlanta Hawks have been doing it tough lately as they’ve lost four of their last five games overall and they will be hoping to arrest a three-game slide after getting routed by the Mavericks in a 129-119 loss on Monday. Jalen Johnson led the team with 28 points, 11 rebounds, and three assists, Trae Young added 18 points with 16 assists while Dyson Daniels chipped in with 17 points. As a team, the Hawks shot 47 percent from the field and nine of 31 from the 3-point line as they poured in 36 points in the second quarter to take the narrow lead into halftime, only to let their hard work go to waste in the second half where they got outscored by 68-52.Â
Cleveland CavaliersÂ
Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers have been the benchmark of the league as they’ve won 17 of their first 18 games and they will be eager to keep it going after taking down the Raptors in a 122-108 win on Sunday. Donovan Mitchell and Ty Jerome led the team in scoring with 26 points each, Jarrett Allen added 23 points with 13 rebounds, while Darius Garland chipped in with 16 points and six assists. As a team, the Cavaliers shot 49 percent from the field and 16 of 41 from the 3-point line as they set the tone with 38 points in the first quarter to take the early double-digit lead, but they didn’t have the game under control until the fourth quarter where they restricted the Raptors to just 18 points to pull away late.Â
Why the Cleveland Cavaliers will win
- The Cavaliers have won each of their last 12 games against teams that held a losing record.
- The Hawks have lost nine of their last 10 games against Central Division opponents that held a winning record.
- The Hawks have failed to cover the spread in eight of their last nine night games against Central Division opponents that held a winning record.
- The favorites have covered the spread in each of the last four games between the Hawks and Cavaliers.
Total Points Facts
- Fourteen of the Hawks’ last 16 games against Eastern Conference opponents have gone OVER the total points line.
- Each of the Cavaliers’ last five games against the Hawks following a home win have gone UNDER the total points line.
Atlanta Hawks vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
The Hawks are still missing Cody Zeller due to personal reasons, while the Cavaliers have ruled out Caris LeVert, Max Strus, and Dean Wade once again. The Hawks have shown glimpses of their potential this season, but for the most part, it has been disappointing for this underperforming Hawks team. The Cavaliers come into this one as clear favorites, they have barely missed a step all season and they should be well-rested as they haven’t seen the court since Sunday. The line is hefty, but I think the Cavaliers stay hot with another win and cover at home.
