(NBA) Atlanta vs. Cleveland,
Point Spread: -11.50 | -108.00 Cleveland (Home)
Result: Loss
Cleveland is still a very good team - they have had some lesser shooting as of late, but I still believe in their offensive abilities. This is a different Cleveland team when they don't have to rely solely on rim protection. LeBron James is a great player who makes things happen on all sorts of ways, scoring, defending the paint, and even stopping the wings - the Cavs are still an awful lot to handle. What Atlanta will have to hope for, is better ball protection than they had vs the Knicks on 12.10.2017, where Kent Bazemore had turned the ball over way more than they would have wanted and the team continued its sloppy ball handling with 16 TO's. Some ball handling issues and shaky passes is going to dog this Atlanta team. Once Cleveland gets going with their runs - they are far too hard to stop. The Hawks struggle on the road and I expect a big win for the Cleveland Cavs tonight!
