Consensus Betting ATS
Atlanta: 61%
Cleveland: 39%

The Hawks are down 3-0 in this series and can they stay alive to play another day like the Rockets in the West? In Game 3 neither the Hawks nor Cavs had a solid shooting game and after starting the game 0-10 from the floor LeBron James came up big with a triple double scoring 37 points with 18 rebounds and 13 assists. Al Horford was the only Atlanta starter that shot at least 50% from the floor and he only played 19 minutes after being ejected. Kyrie Irving has missed the last 2 games of this series with a knee injury and he is questionable for this game.

The Hawks showed fight in Game 3 being down 10 points in the 4th quarter and coming back to force overtime. They will continue to fight tonight and while I do not see them winning in Cleveland they will cover the spread once again.

Take the HAWKS +8
