Atlanta Hawks (45-35) and Cleveland Cavaliers (51-29) will clash in the Eastern Conference on Friday night at State Farm Arena. The Hawks will want to quickly recover from their two-game slide, which includes a painful 6-point defeat on the road to the Cavaliers. They’ll be under pressure to win and lock up the No. 6 seed, with the ninth-placed Hornets being just two games behind them. It’s a must-win game for the Hawks.
The Cavaliers, on the other side of the hardwood, are fourth in the standings, having secured their playoff position. They’re six games ahead of the fifth-placed Raptors, which reduces the pressure to win tonight. However, the Cavs are just a game behind the third-placed Knicks, meaning they can take the No. 3 seed if they win their remaining matches. Kenny Atkinson’s men will also want to head into the postseason with winning momentum.

Our Atlanta Hawks vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
The NBA fans could be in for another thriller, with both sides being in great form. The Hawks, who are the -305 betting favorites, are 7-3 in their last 10 matches. With two games remaining and their No. 6 seed under threat, we expect them to play their best against the relaxed Cavaliers. They’ve comfortably defeated some top teams at home lately, including Boston and Orlando. The Hawks will also be boosted by the fact that Donovan Mitchell will miss this game for the Cavs with an ankle injury. He single-handedly shot down the Hawks on Wednesday night, recording 31 points and 7 rebounds. His absence should hand the hosts the advantage.
Our prediction for Atlanta Hawks vs Cleveland Cavaliers: Atlanta Hawks to cover the -7.5 line.
