Preview

Cleveland (3-1) visits Atlanta (2-3) at State Farm Arena at 8 p.m. ET. The Hawks have lost three in a row and are 0-2 at home. Per the AP preview, Atlanta went 46-36 last season and Cleveland went 52-30.

Key factors

Atlanta lists Henri Veesaar (knee) and Mouhamed Gueye (foot) as out, and the AP preview says Veesaar is out for the season. ESPN's injury feed lists no Cavaliers, but the AP preview lists Nae'Qwan Tomlin out (back) and Khalifa Diop day to day (knee), neither of them a regular in the rotation. On ESPN's leaders page, Donovan Mitchell leads Cleveland at 24.8 points, James Harden runs the offense at 6.8 assists and Evan Mobley pulls 10.0 rebounds. For Atlanta, Nickeil Alexander-Walker leads at 19.6 points and Jalen Johnson does a bit of everything at 8.8 assists and 9.6 rebounds. DraftKings had Atlanta -1.5 with a total of 237.5 when this was written.

The pick

The board leans Cleveland on the moneyline at about even money. The Cavs are the more proven team, they're healthy where it counts, and Atlanta hasn't won at home yet. With the line this close, you're basically just picking the winner, and that's Cleveland. Lean, not a lock.

How to read a pick

The bold line is the bet in plain words. The ticket line under it is the number from the source, when the source had one.

Spread
The points a team gets or gives. "Eagles win by 4+" is the same idea as PHI -3.5: that team has to win by 4 or more. A plus number means the team can lose by fewer than that, or win.
Moneyline
Who wins the game. No point spread. The price, like BOS -155, only says how short or long that win was on the snapshot.
Over/under
The total. Add both sides together. Over 2.5 goals means 3 or more. Under 2.5 means 2 or fewer.
Parlay
Two or more bets tied together. Every part has to hit, or the whole ticket loses. This board does not build a parlay for you.
Lean, Like, Love
Lean is a small edge. Like is a clearer read. Love is the strongest call on the board. No pick means we are not calling a side.
