The Hawks had been playing great but were slowed last time out by the Knicks. Do the Cavs have a ton to play for? Guess not, but it's the first time they have had all their key guys together in a long while. So I think hold serve in what really is the home finale because no one will play in the real one vs. Washington.
FanDuel. One of the more underrated aspects of Jalen Johnson’s progression into stardom this season has been his improvement as a jump shooter. The first-time All Star is shooting 35% on 4.8 threes attempted per game. And since March 1st - he’s up to 39% on 5.3 attempts. Tonight is a great spot to fire on his three point prop as he’ll face the twin tower defense of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen inside. Cleveland is sixth in paint points allowed, and 12th in transition points allowed - when Johnson faces teams in the top 18 of both metrics, he’s cleared this line in 15/21 games, since the Trae Young and Kristaps Porzingis departures.
