Cavaliers Moneyline (-1.5) Over Hawks

Expect this game to be an entertaining affair. The Hawks and Cavaliers split their first two games with both contests in Cleveland and decided by six or fewer points.

Cleveland has a huge advantage inside with John Collins slated to miss his second consecutive game. The Cavaliers have played well lately, though they had their four-game winning streak snapped with their 103-93 setback to Philadelphia on Saturday. The Cavaliers are 13-5 since Jan. 9, including winning six of their 11 games on the road. They have shot the ball well, particularly on the road, and have been strong defensively, as they have held their opponents to slightly under 51% effective field goal percentage and forced turnovers at a 14.6% rate.

Darius Garland returning from injury against the 76ers gives the Cavaliers more juice off the bench with Kevin Love and Caris LeVert. Plus, Cleveland has done a fantastic job defensively on opposing point guards, and they have exceptional coming off two days of rest this season. The key for them will be controlling the pace of the game.

Atlanta has been in a little bit of a tailspin lately, as they are just 1-4 in their last five. Defense continues to be a huge challenge, as the Hawks have posted a defensive rating of over 117 during this stretch. The Hawks are less efficient offensively without Collins on the floor and 2-4 in games he has missed. Delon Wright and Bogdan Bogdanovic are both questionable for the game.

76ers Moneyline (+120) Over Celtics

This is also a contest that has all the makings to be a fantastic defensive matchup. The 76ers are playing at home, and they are plus money, which has gone up 15 points since the morning line.

Philadelphia has played very well over the last two months and has won three of four overall. Joel Embiid has been terrific over this stretch, and Tobias Harris’ play has steadily improved over the season. Embiid has struggled to shoot the ball against the Celtics, but he still has put up solid numbers. More importantly, the 76ers have won two of the previous three meetings. Plus, they have been staunch defensively, and Tyrese Maxey has played well over the last two games.

Boston has also played exceptionally well of late. The Celtics have won seven in a row, but they are only 13-15 on the road. Turnovers and 3-point shooting away from home have been problematic for the Celtics this season.
