The Cleveland Cavaliers are tipped to win as slight underdogs against the Atlanta Hawks, primarily due to their three-game winning streak and superior form. Cleveland have bounced back from an opening defeat with consecutive home victories, while Atlanta are on a three-game losing run and have yet to win at home this season. Although the Hawks lead the all-time head-to-head and won the last meeting, both teams are playing on back-to-back nights, with Cleveland's early-season momentum seen as the decisive factor.

Cleveland are tipped to win as a slight underdog in Atlanta tonight.

Playing a road game on the second half of a back-to-back is tough, but the Cavaliers are the better team in better form heading into this matchup, which cannot be ignored.

Cleveland Cavaliers Riding Three-Game Win Streak

Cleveland have responded to their opening-night defeat in strong fashion, reeling off three consecutive victories.

The Cavaliers opened their campaign on the road in Philadelphia, and suffered a 114-106 defeat at the hands of the 76ers.

They then returned home for their next three games, and took full advantage of ‘home comforts’ by winning all of them.

Cleveland got off the mark with a 125-121 win over Brooklyn, and followed that up with a 127-125 overtime victory against Minnesota.

The Cavaliers then made it three-in-a-row last night, turning back the challenge of Washington in a 121-111 win.

Atlanta Hawks On Three-Game Losing Skid

Atlanta enter this matchup looking to end a three-game losing sequence that has dropped them to 2-3.

The Hawks opened with back-to-back road games, but returned home with a perfect record thanks to a couple of victories.

They beat the Magic in Orlando in their opener, 132-125, before heading to Charlotte for a 128-81 blowout of the Hornets.

Atlanta failed to back that up in their first home game though, as they lost 121-114 to Houston, and two days later they lost to the Rockets on the road, 120-110.

The Hawks’ losing skid then reached three games last night, as they fell 129-117 to Miami at home.

Verdict

Both teams are playing for the second straight night, and the Hawks have the slight advantage because they got to stay home.

However, Cleveland are the better team and they are the ones with plenty of early-season momentum, so give us the Cavaliers as slight underdogs.
