Here is a look at the Hawks vs. Cavs matchup, followed by my in-depth analysis and predicted outcome on each contest.

The Hawks are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Cleveland.

The Favorite is 15-5 ATS in the last 20 meetings.

The Hawks are 5-12 ATS in the last 17 meetings.

The Road team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings.

Analysis: The Atlanta Hawks (4-3 road) have crashed back to earth in a big way following their impressive 6-0 start. While I still believe the Hawks are going to be a really good playoff team this season, I don’t think they are ready to beat the Cavaliers (6-0 home) on the road in this matchup, particularly with LeBron James and Co. looking like the second best team in the Eastern Conference this season.

The outcome of this contest is simple- the Cavaliers win by 4 to 9 points.
