    How do we not play the Cavs tonight?

    ML has jumped from -102 to a nice juicy +125. Cavs not resting anybody. Lebron just passed a Hawks legend in the all-time scoring list who will be in attendance tonight. I assume the King will want to put on a show for Wilkins and also pass Oscar Robertson tonight with 22 points. Hawks have won 9 out of 11 so they are getting a bit of respect here so I wouldn't feel like such a square fading them.

    Idk. Your angle is a bit flimsy here about putting on a show. I hear you on it but it feels like a bit of a stretch in this situation. The other guys get paid too.

    The Hawks are playing well right now. They have a tendency to lay the occasional egg but they look like the play here.

    Lol putting on a show would be true if this was kobe or tmac. Lebron is trash, he cant put on a show when he chooses to. It just comes to him. Kobe, tmac, and AI could do it anytime

    Atlanta is surging. 8-2 in last 10. They are rested. Hawks lost to Cavs in last game but it was back in November. Cavs on the other hand are playing back to back rd game and 3rd in 4 nights. Trap game?

    Taking Cleveland just looks a little too easy and the cavs Look erratic who knows Atlanta might win pretty easy

    "How do we not play the Cavs tonight" vs "Atlanta Hawks will beat LeBron tonight" = No Play

    Your bet needs to win more than 44.44% (1/2.250x100) of the time to profit if you're rooting for Cleveland.
    Your bet needs to win more than 58.00% (1/1.724x100) of the time to profit if you're rooting for Atlanta.

    I say Cleveland but this can go both ways. Also, I don't believe in past ATS as today is a different day and a different opponent.

    Guranteed win is new york knicks money line with high probabilty of -5. Both teams with no playoffs hope wont care as much but knicks at home still want to put on a show for the fans.

    That's your prediction and not a guarantee. Nothing in the betting world is a guarantee until the sporting event has happened. A favorite team is no guarantee.
