Rating: 10*
The Cleveland Cavaliers are 6-0 SU but just 2-4 ATS on the season. As reigning NBA champions they spread is often inflated as the public loves to back the champs, but I think they're in a good spot to demolish the Atlanta Hawks and win by double digits Tuesday night.
The Hawks have a matchup with the Bulls home in Atlanta on deck tomorrow, and I would not be surprised to see the visitors rest starters if the game is out of reach late in the game. The Cavs meanwhile will have plenty of days off before travelling to Washington on Friday, so there's no reason for the to give anything but 100 percent throughout the whole game.
The Cavs will also need to bounce back from a poor display on Saturday when they just barely stayed unbeaten on the season with a tight 102-101 win at the lowly 76ers. Kyrie Irving shot 3-for-17 from the floor and finished with eight points, but I expect him to come back with a strong performance in this contest.
Cleveland swept Atlanta in the Eastern Conference semifinals last spring and the Hawks are 1-7 ATS in the last eight meetings, 0-5 ATS in the last five at Quicken Loans Arena. The Hawks are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 road games while the Cavs are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 home games.
