Atlanta at Cleveland

April 8, 2026
img7:00 PM Eastern

Atlanta has won 17 of its past 20 games and 12 of 14 against Eastern Conference opponents. The Hawks have a little more urgency as they look to avoid the play-in tournament, while Cleveland has earned at least the No. 4 seed. The Cavaliers are just a slight favorite in this match-up, and they are 1-4 ATS in their past five games and 1-6 ATS in their past seven versus Eastern Conference foes. The Hawks had a four-game win streak snapped in a 108-105 loss to New York on Monday. Atlanta has clamped down defensively, allowing just 106.7 points per game in their past six games. Donovan Mitchell is still day-to-day with an ankle injury for Cleveland, which has been a money burner this season with a 31-47-1 ATS mark. Take the Hawks on the moneyline.
