BetDSI.com has your Cavs vs. Hawks Game 3 betting line for the NBA Playoffs.
Atlanta Hawks 27-18-2 ATS on the Road
The Hawks were 24-15-2 against the spread on the road during the regular season and they are 3-3 ATS in the playoffs. The Hawks will be getting points in this game on Sunday and that makes them dangerous as the only time they were getting points in the first two rounds as in the final game against Washington that they won outright as 2.5 point underdogs. The Hawks average about 103 points per game and allow 97 per contest. Three of their past five road games have gone over the NBA betting total.
Cleveland Cavaliers 23-23 ATS at Home
The Cavaliers went 21-20 against the NBA point spread at home in the regular season and they are 2-3 against the number in the playoffs. There is no question that the Cavaliers are going to be overvalued in their first home game in this series. Cleveland is not at full strength without Kevin Love and with a hurting Kyrie Irving so they could struggle to win and cover this contest. The Cavaliers were a good team to bet under the basketball betting total at home during the regular season with 26 games going under and just 15 going over the total.
Game Notes
The Cavaliers don’t have Kevin Love and they are not getting much from Kyrie Irving but they still have LeBron James and they have J.R. Smith who was red-hot in Game 1. The Hawks have an injury of their own as DeMarre Carroll suffered a knee injury in the Game 1 loss. The good news for Atlanta is that the injury is not serious and Carroll should be in the lineup for this game on Sunday. The Hawks have actually won six of the past ten in Cleveland and gone 7-3 against the NBA betting odds at the sportsbook. Five of the last six meetings in Cleveland have gone over the betting total.
