Cleveland Cavaliers vs Atlanta Hawks Preview

Cavs’ juggernaut faced a brief hitch

The Cavs will enter the affair after playing against the Miami Heat the previous night. Before this game, they had defeated the Pistons by 11 points. This win helped them break a three-game losing streak. The Cavs have hit a lean period this month after a brilliant period of dominance. They began the season with a 15-0 start and also strung together 12 wins in a row. The Cavs’ strength is their long-range shooting, they have made 16.2 three per game(2nd) while shooting 39.5% from deep(1st). However, their defense has collapsed lately, resulting in some unprecedented losses. At any rate, they set a strong tempo and will look to finish on a high note.

The Hawks are not showing growth

The Hawks enter the game after a 4-point loss against the Houston Rockets despite a 21-point performance by Trae Young. They are on a six-game losing streak and have a 4-10 record in January. This losing spell sums up the Hawks’ troubles. In the previous seasons, they were doing well at home, but now they have also lost their grip. Young has been stellar but even he has hit a lean patch recently, especially when it comes to turnovers, and his perimeter defense remains an Achilles Heel. Even a pairing with Dyson Daniels, who leads the league with 3.1 steals per game has not hidden his troubles. The Hawks have given up 14.5 threes per game(2nd worst) and have conceded 118.1 PPG(4th worst).

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Atlanta Hawks– Final Prediction and Additional Information

The Cavs will enter the game after playing the previous night, whereas the Hawks will be well-rested. Thus, Young and Co. will enter the game with some advantage but they are totally out of form. Despite that, they may be able to turn the tables here, however, I’d still back the #1 team in the East. The total could be below 227 points here.
