Atlanta snapped a five-game skid with a 125-104 win over Toronto on Friday night when Trae Young scored 29 of his 38 points in the second half and the Hawks outrebounded the Raptors 55-32. The Hawks hope that is the start of a win streak as they travel to face the Cavaliers, who have lost three in a row, including two Boston and they wasted 31 points by Donovan Mitchell in a 116-107 loss to the Celtics on Thursday. Cleveland is 6-15-1 ATS its past 22 games as a favorite, 4-11 ATS as a home favorite and 1-4 ATS its past five against teams with losing records. The Cavaliers have shot just 43.8 percent their past three games. Take the Hawks.
