Cavaliers Hawks Free Pick: Cavaliers +7.5
Here is my Cavaliers Hawks free pick.
Both clubs should be motivated to win this match, with the Cavaliers only a game back of the Knicks, while the Hawks are in a dogfight with the Raptors to grab the fifth seed. Ironically, the Knicks and Raptors are playing each other tonight.
I’m not sure if it’s gamesmanship, but the Cavaliers are listing Jarrett Allen, Donovan Mitchell, Thomas Bryant, and Sam Merrill as out until April 12th (ie: closing night).
Entering this week the Cavaliers were in desperate need of getting their new core reps as James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen have only played 76 total minutes together (per John Shuhmann).
It’s odd they would rest those players, given they only trail the Knicks by a game with two to play. Although the Knicks own the tiebreaker, if Cleveland wins both games and the Knicks lose both, the Cavs would move up to third and gain homecourt through the first two rounds.
Based on reports out of Cleveland, Kenny Atkinson has elected to put his focus on rest over placement so his squad is healthy for Game 1 of the playoffs. However, this could also be a tactical move to try to position themselves to face the Hawks instead of the Raptors (who have owned them this season).
Regardless, I’ll take the Cavaliers and the points.
