(NBA) Atlanta vs. Cleveland,
Point Spread: 2.50 | -110.00 Cleveland (Home)
Result: Loss
The Hawks put on a clinic Wednesday night against Charlotte jumping out to a lead early and burying the Hornets by the third quarter.
The offense was lights out converting at over 52% from the field, including a sensational 50% from beyond the arc going 16/32. ATL is a much different team on the road though.
The Cavs have the edge with rebounding and pts in the paint.
This time out I'm taking the team that wasn't expected to do much this season at home, playing the team that made a great run last year, had very high expectations this season, and are facing elimination. I'm getting points with the home team here with Cleveland as they were 25-16 at home and the Hawks were just 16-25 on the road.
