Line: Atlanta Hawks vs. Cleveland Cavaliers – view all NBA lines

LeBron James has always dominated the Hawks and tonight, the superstar will look to annihilate Atlanta again when the Cavs host the Hawks.

In two games against the Hawks this season, James has averaged 30.5 points, 11 rebounds, and 6.5 assists. Arguably even more impressive are Kyrie Irving’s numbers of 36.0 points and 6.5 assists per game while shooting 52.1 percent from the field in those two meetings with Atlanta. The Hawks will lean on the inside-outside combo of Dennis Schroder and Paul Millsap, who combined for 53 points in a 110-106 win on Nov. 8.

Writer’s Prediction

Cleveland wins, 124-110.
