T.M. Selection: Hawks/Cavaliers OVER.

I am on the over in the Atlanta Hawks vs Cleveland Cavaliers game on Friday. The Hawks have been involved in a lot of high scoring affairs lately and that continued the other night in their 1st game of this play-in tournament. They put up 130+ points on the Hornets in that game but that has been a common theme for them in their games lately. They have put up 100+ points in 22 games in a row with both teams scoring 100+ points in all of those games. They have also put up 130+ points in 2 games in a row now and I think they will put up a ton of points in this game too. The Hawks have been a heavy offensive team all year and they don't really play defense in their games since they rely on their offense and 3 point game to carry them to wins. The Cavaliers have been good all year though and I think they will give the Hawks a very good challenge on their home court in this game. The Hawks have given up 100+ points in 35 games in a row now and I expect the Cavaliers to be right there with them all night. The Cavaliers have been involved in a lot of high scoring affairs themselves lately and have put up 100+ points in 9 games in a row now, with both teams putting up 100+ points in all of those games. Their defense hasn't been great lately either though and they have given up 115+ points in 4 games in a row. The Cavs just played the Hawks in Atlanta a few weeks ago and the Hawks on that game 131-107. I still think the Hawks are going to put up a ton of points on them here in this road game like they did in that previous game but I expect the Cavaliers to be better on offense here on their home court and with neither team playing great defense, I expect to see a ton of points from both sides. I like the over in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 127-124 Hawks.
