I like Cleveland tonight over ATL even though records point otherwise. ATL beats CLE on every statistic, EXCEPT turnovers and Rebounds which are the 2 most important. They are the stats that allow an underdog to beat a favorite. ATL is 4-9 on the road and CLE is 8-5 at home. ATL has lost to 4 top 10 teams though on the road so you have to consider that. CLE on the other hand has beat MIA and LAC at home and almost beat POR but lost by 3. Also, I like the fact that ATL is coming off a loss to MIA in OT by 2 so hopefully they are a little down and drained from that. CLE on the other hand lost by 23 to DET so I hope they want to bounce back tonight.
Additionally, CLE is 2-7 was Anthony Bennett plays more than 10 minutes. Tonight I don't think he'll be playing more than 10 minutes so that's a plus.
This just a lean as of now. I wanted our guys thoughts...any taking ATL and how come?
