Atlanta Hawks minus-1.5 vs. Cleveland Cavaliers: $550 to win $500
If Atlanta is going to avoid a sweep in this series I think it needs to win this game. The Cavaliers going home with a 2-0 lead is not something I would expect any team to overcome, so the Hawks are going to come out with one of their best performances of the postseason.
Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving and Atlanta’s DeMarre Carroll are both questionable for tonight’s Eastern Conference Finals Game 2, and if both players miss the game it would be a bigger loss for the Cavs. Even if Irving does play he’s been limited by multiple injuries during the playoffs so now is the opportunity for the Hawks to give themselves any chance in this series.
Standings: Bern (79-69-1, $11,850), Keefer (80-80-2, $9,317), Brewer (69-83-3, $1,725)
