Hawks vs Cavaliers Game Preview:
The biggest questionable mark in this game will be if Jarret Allen will be on the court for the Cavs. When doing this video, Shams reported that Allen will attempt to play while other reports are saying he’s not quite ready yet. With the mix of reliable reports, you have to question that if he does play, how many minutes will it be and how effective of a performance can he give in this win or go home scenario.
Atlanta has two big man down low, so having Allen on the court will definitely be a positive for Cleveland to match up against them. Without him on the court this regular season, the Cavs went 9 and 17 overall, so keep that in mind.
For the Hawks, they got the huge win 132-103 against the Hornets on Wednesday Night. Trae Young lead the team with 24 points, but he was a miserable 1 of 7 from 3-point land. Our numbers have him stepping it up in that 3-point area, so I’m confident enough to take Trae Young to go over 2.5 Three-Pointers made and lay the juice at the -175 price.
The Hawks are 8-2 against the spread in their last 10 games and the total has gone under in 5 of Atlanta’s last 5 games against an opponent in the Eastern Conference.
The Cavs 4-9 against the spread in their last 13 games and the total has gone over in 14 of Cleveland’s last 20 games against Atlanta.
