Cleveland has split its last four games as the team ponders when and how often to rest players for the playoffs. The Cavaliers beat Brooklyn 107-87 last night after losing to Houston when LeBron James rested. James scored 24 points against the Nets as the Cavaliers got revenge for a loss in Brooklyn on March 24. Atlanta lost at Toronto 105-97, but still is experiencing a late-season surge with four wins in its last five games and the Hawks are on a 7-3 ATS run. Jeff Teague scored 18 points against the Raptors, who shot 47.8 percent from beyond the arc. Both teams shoot 45.9 percent from the field and the Hawks have a slight defensive edge allowing 43.2 percent compared to 44.8 percent for the Cavs. Cleveland is 0-6 ATS its last six games after a win. Play the Hawks.
