What Experts Are Picking
- Austin Wang of the Action Network sees value in the Cavaliers given how well Cleveland has played at home this season (25-16). In addition to home court, the Cavaliers have an extra day of rest and with Jarrett Allen back, the club appears more healthy than the Hawks.
- The Hawks won three of four matchups with the Cavaliers and despite being with John Collins this one, Ryan Murphy of Covers.com sees Atlanta prevailing. Both Danilo Gallinari and De’Andre Hunter are candidates to step up again as they did against Charlotte on Wednesday night.
- 11 of ESPN’s 17 NBA experts picked the Hawks to win the matchup (13 of them also have the Clippers winning in the late game).
