Cavaliers vs. Hawks Odds & Betting Predictions - March 7, 2024

The Hawks take on the Cavs in what is the second game of a back-to-back with travel for both of these teams. Ordinarily this is not a great matchup for Murray with the Cavs’ top notch defense and Murray potentially having the Donovan Mitchell assignment. Here, we know Mitchell is Out and Evan Mobley’s status has not been updated yet but he left the arena on crutches with a swollen ankle after their win over the Celtics. Murray has averaged 15 RA without Trae Young this season and has exceeded 12.5 RA in 9 of 10 games without him. This line is simply low. In the Hawks’ last game against the Cavs Murray racked up 14 RA and that was with Trae. The one game he missed the 12.5 RA was against the Nets who limited his assist opportunities and he finished with 11 RA. I’ll grab Murray to exceed 12.5 RA and think the price on Triple Double has climbed enough that it is worth a play at (+2800 DK).
