Cleveland at Atlanta

The Cleveland Cavaliers have taken a back seat since the departure of LeBron James. That might not matter here tonight. The Atlanta Hawks were once upon a time only one of three Eastern Conference teams over .500 and sitting comfortably in the #3 seed position for the playoffs. While the Eastern Conference has seen the teams behind them improve, the Hawks have taken a dive, and over their last 28 games they are just 7-21. It has now left the Hawks on the outside looking in, as the Knicks have passed them for the #8 and final playoffs spot. The Hawks have covered just one of their last eight as a favorite going back to the beginning of February. Take Cleveland.
