Gigantic total and really anything over 245 these days I feel obligated to go Under. Kind of a weird start time for both teams might lead to some struggles early on. I'm well aware these teams just combined for 269 points on Wednesday but usually when clubs play these home-and-home matchups one of the two is rather ugly offensively just due to defensive familiarity. But this certainly isn't a lock or anything, either. Just math. Our model has 237 points being scored. This is starting to drop now so ...

The Cavaliers were hefty favorites over the Hawks on Wednesday and lost outright. I was on the wrong side of that one. I’m coming back for more, though, as the Cavaliers are 14-5 ATS this season. Meanwhile, the Hawks are 2-7 ATS at home. Look for the Cavaliers to bounce back and not only defeat the Hawks, but cover the spread.

We got burned by this game on Wednesday. The Cavs played their worst game of the season and somehow gave up 135 points and got embarrassed by a bad basketball team. I don't see that happening again. The Cavs are 6-2 ATS on the road and 9-3 ATS after a day off. The Hawks are 2-7 ATS at home. They have not fared well this season when facing teams consecutive times; getting blown out by the lowly Wiards in the second game when they had this scheduling quirk earlier this season. Cavs have 14 wins already this season by 6 points or more. I don't see them taking this lightly after the home loss Wednesday.
