The Cleveland Cavaliers (38-9) have been the best team in the Eastern Conference this season, and they'll try to remind everyone of their position when they host the Atlanta Hawks (22-25) at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday at Rocket Morgage FieldHouse.

Cleveland is coming off consecutive wins over the Miami Heat and Detroit Pistons following a three-game losing skid. Atlanta has dropped six straight and enters this matchup as a double-digit underdog.

Let's dive into our Hawks vs. Cavaliers predictions and player prop picks for this matchup on TNT. The Cavs are third in the NBA championship odds.

Best Hawks vs. Cavaliers prop predictions

Trae Young prop pick: Double-double ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This would be a five-star pick if placed at ESPN BET, which is offering -115 odds for Trae Young to record a double-double. This line is as high as -155 at DraftKings, indicating the deal bettors are getting at some of our best sports betting apps.

Young’s assist prop is up to 10.5 at FanDuel, a stat we count on for this double-double bet. I project closer to 11 dimes for Young, who leads the league while averaging 11.4 assists per game this season.

Best odds: -130 via bet365 | Implied probability: 56.52%

Donovan Mitchell prop pick: Over 4.5 assists ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Cavaliers haven’t submitted their injury report as of this writing, but bettors should monitor Darius Garland’s status after he missed Wednesday’s win in Miami. If Garland is out again, this assist line is too low for Donovan Mitchell after the same market closed at 5.5 yesterday.

Mitchell dished six dimes against Miami, marking the fourth straight game he’s cleared this assist prop. He’s averaging 6.5 assists per game over that span, which is why I project him to clear this line with or without Garland on Thursday.

Best odds: -110 via DraftKings | Implied probability: 52.38%

Zaccharie Risacher prop pick: Over 9.5 points ⭐⭐⭐

This season’s No. 1 overall pick has been enjoying a solid debut campaign for the Hawks. Zaccharie Risacher, who's a long shot in the NBA Rookie of the Year odds, is averaging 10.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game.

Risacher scored 11 points on 13 shots against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday, marking his fifth double-digit outing across the forward's previous eight games. I project 11.3 points for Risacher, suggesting a fair price of -154 for this Over.

This +100 price tag is a solid discount, and a $10 bet nets a $10 profit.

Best odds: +100 via FanDuel | Implied probability: 50%
