Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Atlanta Hawks Prediction
Fearless Forecast: The Hawks come away with a 124-122 win over the Cavaliers
Best Pick: The Hawks win (+100).
The Hawks enter Wednesday’s ballgame against the Cavs with a 12-2 record in their last 14 games against teams from the Eastern Conference. These Hawks are a totally different team from the squad the Cavaliers faced twice in November. Jalen Johnson has now become the centerpiece of the franchise, but the Hawks now have players who address their depth and inject playoff experience.
The Cavaliers will always be a dangerous team because of their dynamic backcourt featuring James Harden and Donovan Mitchell. However, the Hawks seem to have all the right tools to outlast the Cavs in an entertaining, high-scoring duel.
Our betting prediction for the Atlanta Hawks vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers: the Hawks will win.
