Rating:
The Hawks have won two of their last three games and two of their last three road games. They have played well offensively, scoring more than 120 points per game on the road while making 47 percent of their shots. They’ve also done a good job at the charity stripe, making over 81 percent of their free throws. They do a good job of finding the open man and they’re very good at rebounding the ball. They’re averaging over 14 offensive rebounds per game on the road, so expect them to get a lot of extra-scoring chances in this game. The Cavaliers haven’t played well defensively, even at home where they are giving up more than 113 points per game, so expect them to have a hard time slowing down the Hawks in this game. The Cavaliers have lost two of their last three home games. They have struggled offensively at home, scoring less than 110 points per game. They don’t rebound the ball as well as the Hawks and they’ve also been careless with the ball, which will lead to easy-scoring opportunities for the Hawks, who average more than 10 steals per game on the road. The Hawks aren’t great defensively, but they played well in their last two road games and won’t have trouble keeping Cleveland’s offense in check. Go with Atlanta to cover the spread.
