The Cleveland Cavaliers are a team in disarray, and playing the Hawks in Atlanta doesn't look like a spot where you would expect them to turn things around. In fact, given LeBron's latest comments, it might just get worse before it gets better in Cleveland.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Home Cookin' - The Hawks are 13-3 in Atlanta this season, and they sit just 1.5 games back of Toronto for first place in the East.
2. Injuries - Cleveland has been missing PG Kyrie Irving for the last two games, but he could return tonight. Center Anderson Varejao is done for the season though, and that leaves a gaping hole in the paint.
3. X-Factor - LeBron shot just 5-of-19 and committed seven turnovers in the loss to the Pistons.
Selection: This is a play on the Atlanta Hawks (10*)
