Cavs vs Hawks on Tuesday night in Cleveland.
Cavs -4.5 pts favorites, total pts line at 226.5 pts
These are two of the worse teams in the league but it is strange to me seeing Cavs like pretty big favorites.
- Cavs 0-6, played worst ball this season
- Cavs just fired coach, will be coached by Larry Drew who said he doesn`t want to coach the team unless gets bigger contract.
- Kevin Love, Cavs best player is out
- Hawks at least are 2-4 and had some good games.
- Hawks last week beat Cleveland 133-111 right here in Cleveland
Cavs are in total chaos atm. And they played the worst basketball of any team in the NBA this season.
Hawks beat them last week when Cavs had Kevin Love and less uncertainty.
Important fact against Hawks is that they played yesterday and also as visitor. Probably that's why we have this odds favoring Cavs. But IMO in the beginning of the season teams are not so tired ... many teams won back to back this season.
This is at least 50-50 game IMO but I even give the Hawks a 55% chance. For sure Cavs will win a game at some point and hosting the Hawks is one of their biggest chances to do so ... but it will be hard without K Love and without the head coach and with all this uncertainty around them.
I don't think today is the day Cavs finally win and because of big odds I will risk big stakes.
