Cleveland is a very fast team out of the gate. Atlanta is a very slow team out of the gate, especially the first quarter. Shaq and AV both are back in practice so I expect Cleveland to have a little more spirit early on tonight. The 1st quarter should be a huge play on Cleveland as I expect a big lead (8+). Atlanta will make a strong move in the 2nd to end the half and will cut the lead to about 4 at half.
2nd half may be a lean on Atlanta depending on who's hot for Cleveland. If Lebron hasn't scored much but have moved the ball around and the other guys are finishing then Cleveland is the play 2nd half. If he had to work hard in the 1st half then lean ATL 2nd half. If AV plays tonight then I'm leaning Cleveland for the trifecta (1st Q, 1st half and Game). The gameline is really a hard call and could go either way with ATL probably covering but the 1st quarter is a strong play. I'd go small on the gameline and wait for a 2nd half line based on the Cav's role players.
BTW - Refs, Sean Corbin, Kevin Fehr, and Greg Willard are heavy home faves. Expect them to slow the game down with about 48 total FT's in tonight's game. This will probably be an Under game but small play.
Cleveland 1st quarter HUGE play -1.5: 10 Units
Cleveland 1st half -2.5 (-115): 3 Units
Under 195.5: 2 Units
15 Unit play with 5 more units going on the 2nd half, based on Cav's role players.
