The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Atlanta Hawks collide at the State Farm Arena on Friday night. Here’s a Cleveland Cavaliers vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction. This article will include a Cleveland Cavaliers vs Atlanta Hawks Pick.
Cleveland CavaliersÂ
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been the hottest team in the league as they’ve won 17 of their first 19 games but they will be looking to bounce back in this one after getting routed by the Hawks in a 135-124 loss on Wednesday. Donovan Mitchell led the team with 30 points and seven assists, Evan Mobley added 22 points with 12 rebounds, five assists, four steals, and three blocks, while Darius Garland chipped in with 19 points and seven assists. As a team, the Cavaliers shot 46 percent from the field and 15 of 48 from the 3-point line as they hit the ground running and poured in 64 points in the first half to take the early lead, but they weren’t at their usual standards on the defensive end and allowed 74 points in the second half to lose big in the end. The Cavs will take on the Celtics after this one.
Atlanta HawksÂ
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Hawks have been in a rut as they’ve lost four of their last six games overall and they were on a three-game skid before their surprising win over the Cavaliers on Wednesday. De’Andre Hunter led the team with 26 points on nine of 16 shooting off the bench, Jalen Johnson added 22 points with nine rebounds and seven assists while Trae Young tallied 20 points with 22 assists. As a team, the Hawks shot 47 percent from the field and 20 of 42 from the 3-point line as they weathered an early barrage from the Cavaliers before they caught fire with 37 points in the third quarter to take over and escape with the big upset. The Hawks will play against the Hornets following this game.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
The Cavaliers have ruled out Dean Wade again and they have Caris LeVert listed as questionable, while the Hawks are still playing without Cody Zeller who is out due to personal reasons. The Cavaliers were on fire before they got stopped in their tracks by the Hawks on Wednesday, but it’s always tough to beat the same team twice in a row, especially a team like the Cavaliers who have been the best team in the league this season. The line is reasonable for this one, so I am comfortable going with the Cavaliers to get their revenge in this meeting.
