Cleveland Cavaliers vs Atlanta Hawks prediction

The Atlanta Hawks are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home with the rest advantage. However, the Hawks are piling up the losses at the moment and Trae Young isn’t around to save them just yet. The Cleveland Cavaliers played last night and are down Mitchell, while Mobley and Strus are questionable. It’s a tough spot for an injured Cavs squad, but that didn’t stop them from beating the Celtics last night. I’m not excited to back the Hawks in the favorite role. Wrong team favored? Possibly. Give me the Cavs and the free bucket.
