Premium Pick

Atlanta has covered the spread four of the last five meetings, and both teams are on bad current ATS runs with the Cavaliers just 1-6 ATS their last seven games while the Hawks have covered one of their last four. Cleveland beat Washington 130-122 on Friday as LeBron James exploded for 57 points on 23 of 34 shooting as the Cavs shot 56.1 percent as a team. Don't expect that to happen two games in a row, and the line is inflated due to that performance.  The Hawks come off a 119-104 loss to Houston while shooting 48.1 percent, and Kent Bazemore scored a team-leading 18 points. Cleveland is 0-5 ATS its last five home contests and 1-4 ATS after a win this season. Also, the Cavaliers are 1-4 ATS after scoring at least 100 points and 4-11 ATS their last 15 games versus teams with a .400 or lower winning percentage. Take the big points with the Hawks.
