Command Analysis

Atlanta Hawks

After a string of successful matches Nate McMillan's men have suffered a drop of form. In three last weeks Hawks have recorded only a few victories. They managed to beat weak opponents. It was not too difficult to record a victory over Orlando (111:99), for example.

Atlanta lost the most recent match. Two days ago Hawks were beaten by Denver (115:133). Trae Young put up a great performance in this game. Leader of the Hawks scored 34 points. But Young can miss the next game. He received a minor injury, so it is uncertain, whether he will play.

Cleveland Cavaliers

J.B. Bickerstaff managed to build a great team. Cleveland put up an impressive display in recent matches and are fighting for a play-off spot. Cavaliers are currently at the 3rd spot in the standings. It is a wonderful result for the Cavs.

Cavaliers are looking great on defense. In each of three most recent matches Bickerstaff's men didn't let the opponents to score more than 100 points. Miami, Milwaukee, Houston are powerful opponents, but failed to get close to the 100-point mark.

Tip and bets

In recent matches Hawks put up a high-scoring performance, but if Young will be absent in this match Hawks' offensive potential will be decreased. We don't think that Hawks will be able to break Cleveland's defense without their leader. Bickerstaff's men conceded 102 points per game on away matches. It will be hard for the Hawks to break Cleveland's defense.

Our prediction - total under 222 points
