Betting on the Cleveland Cavaliers
- Regular Season Record: 47-28
The Cleveland Cavaliers may be a little concerned in these final weeks of the regular season as they sit in fourth place in the Eastern Conference, and fighting for the lead seems to be a pipe dream being 6.5 games off the top. But with 7.0 games separating them from seventh place, which could mean losing their direct pass to the playoffs, they can remain calm in the weeks to come.
Nevertheless, keeping the fourth place is important as it would give them home field advantage in the playoffs until they meet a stronger opponent than them… and the Cavaliers seem determined to hold on to that position after winning their last four games. Their last victory was a 108-91 win over the Houston Rockets at home.
Now they will have to get back on the road, where they have a record of 18-20: they have won in their last four away games against the Hornets and Nets, and three of those games saw them limit their opponent to score less than 110 points, not strange for the second-best defense in the league with 111.5.
Betting on the Atlanta Hawks
- Regular Season Record: 37-37
Even though Cleveland is in a position of privilege, that is not true for the Atlanta Hawks, whose ups and downs throughout the campaign seem to indicate that they are destined to play in the Play-in. This is so since they are currently in seventh place in the Eastern Conference with a .500 record, with three games separating them from the sixth place in the standings.
Considering that the Hawks will put an end to their regular season schedule with games against the 76ers and the Celtics, they will have to be at their best in those last two games to stay in the Play-in, as four games separate them from the 11th place.
Atlanta has earned most of its victories at home, where it has a 21-15 record. However, their last home game ended in a 123-119 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. But when you consider that Tennessee is one of the best teams of the campaign, Trae Young and company could be forgiven for that.
JefeBet Prediction
Beyond the fact that the Hawks’ record isn’t the best, it can’t be said that they haven’t tried to win games this season, as their offense is the third best in the league with an average of 118 points scored per game. Plus, their 48.3% shooting percentage from the field is the ninth best in the NBA.
In addition, Atlanta has incredibly averaged 129.5 points per game in its last four games at State Farm Arena. And on this occasion, they will receive the visit of a team that has an extraordinary defense, although it tends to falter a little when visiting.
Considering Cleveland’s shortcomings on their home court and how on fire Atlanta is, although not without neglecting their hoops, we believe that this Cavaliers vs Hawks game will end with a fairly high score.
Prediction: Over (CLE 122 – ATL 118).
