Cavs vs. Hawks Game 2 Pick
ATLANTA, GA (ATS Consultants) – Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals tips off tonight at 8:30PM ET when the Cavs try to build a 2-0 series lead over the Hawks.
According to oddsmakers from online sports book GT Bets, the Hawks are 2.5-point home favorites versus the Cavs, while the over/under total is currently sitting at 195.5 points.
Atlanta has some major problems. Their defense took a hit when they lost DeMarre Carroll to a knee injury. Even if he plays tonight, he’ll struggle defending LeBron James.
The Hawks had a golden opportunity to win Game 1 because James and J.R. Smith (28 points) were the only players that showed up offensively. Atlanta tried to take advantage of Jeff Teague against Kyrie Irving, but isolations are not the Hawks’ game.
The Cleveland defense was outstanding, led by Timofey Mozgov and Tristan Thompson. They also took advantage of their small lineup, out-rebounding the Hawks by 12.
