Game 4 Atlanta Hawks at Cleveland Cavaliers preview and prediction..
The Atlanta Hawks brought the heat against the Cavs last time out and shocked everyone when they had a shot to win it in regular time. How could a team that has been demolished on their home court come out in Cleveland without Kyle Korver and a ejected Horford and almost win it? Basketball can be a crazy game, but spirited performances like that aren't worth betting on. I still think this Cavs outfit at home will be dominant and they might have Kyrie Irving back as a kicker. Seeing Golden State was pushed into game 5 last night, Cavs will be keen to put this series to rest and earn some extra time off..
PICK: Cleveland Cavaliers -7.5 @ 2.00 (+100)

5/21/2015 NBA Playoffs Best Bet Cleveland Cavaliers at Atlanta Hawks Predictions, Analysis, Picks
Game 2 Eastern Conference Finals Cleveland Cavaliers At Atlanta Hawks.
Game 1 showed moments of both teams at their best. The Hawks came out firing and shot over 70% in the first quarter. Things were looking ominous for Lebron and the Cavs, until they started playing some basketball of their own to bring it back level. Then, J.R Smith took the game into his own hands and orchestrated the 13-0 run to start the 4th quarter that put the nail in the coffin for the Hawks. It would be crazy to think the Cavs could come along and take both away wins from the number 1 seed to start the series, but that might just happen. If Demarre Carroll doesn't play with his knee sprain the Hawks are in big trouble. The Cavs will be able to run a "pick and roll" all day long and that leaves the Hawks with the conundrum of either giving Lebron an easy shot or pulling their bigs away from the hoop and leaving the inside exposed. Millsap is a mismatch for Lebron in terms of speed and acceleration.
With Demarre Carroll the Hawks averaged 105.6 points per 100 possessions, without they averaged 92.6. Thats worse than the Philadelphia 76ers, who were the worst shooting team in the NBA this season..
Keep an eye out for Carrolls status, if he doesn't play the Hawks will go 0-2..
PICK: Cleveland Cavaliers @ 2.36 (+136)

5/20/15 NBA Best Bet of the Day Cleveland Cavaliers at Atlanta Hawks Game 1 pick, prediction, analysis
Atlanta Hawks vs Cleveland Cavaliers analysis and predictions:
Game 1 brings a rested Cleveland Cavaliers to the Atlanta Hawks to get the conference finals underway.
The Atlanta Hawks had a long, demanding series against Washington and honestly didn't look like a number 1 seed at all. Their defense at some points was nothing short of pathetic and struggled to operate any offensive potency. The Cleveland Cavaliers however, have been more convincing as their momentum has continued and continued from only a few months ago when they were a sub 500 team. If the Hawks defense couldn't contain a Wizards offence consisting of a 75 year old Paul Pierce and absent of John Wall, how could they expect to stop Lebron and Kyrie? One of my bets of the week here..
PICK: CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WIN @ $2.15(+115)

NBA Best Bet Of The Day 23/4/15
Tonight the venues change and 3 win-less teams get their chance to snatch a home court win.
For the Pelicans, they come up against a side that finished the regular season 67-15. The Warriors are a team that can play anywhere and I don't see the home court being enough to get within 5 of Golden State.During the season, Golden State shot an average 46% away from home and are overall rated the best traveling team statistically in the NBA.
Everyone seems to be getting ahead of themselves when talking about the Pelicans. They have been competitive, but that was when Golden State were just protecting and cruising to the win they knew they would get. Away from home they know they need to earn it, and that will be the catalyst that fires this team up!
They are leaps and bounds a better team, take the away cover..
PICK: Golden State -4.5 @ 1.93

NBA Player Special Cavs v Celtics 21/4/15
In addition to the best NBA bet of the day, it's worth checking out this player special.
Kyrie Irving is firing on all cylinders at the moment and I can see another big game from him tonight. Coming off the back of a 30 point game where Kyrie shot 21 times and a few at the line, it's obvious hes not low on confidence. He wants the ball and he's not scared to shoot it...
PICK: Kyrie Irving Over 23.5 points @ 1.95
