Result:
WIN

Cleveland was a little rusty after not playing for more than a week, but the Cavaliers put on a late run to win and cover in Game 1. The Cavaliers have beaten Atlanta nine times in a row in the playoffs, including a sweep last year. LeBron James scored 25 points and Kevin Love added 17 points and 11 rebounds and the Hawks were held to a .379 field goal percentage. Paul Millsap was only 6-for-19 from the floor after scoring just nine points in the last regular season matchup between these teams. The Hawks are just 1-7 ATS their last eight road games and the Cavaliers have covered the number five of their last seven home contests. Cleveland has won and covered five straight against Atlanta, and nothing changes for this one. Play the Cavaliers for another win and cover.
