Yahoo Sports: Enhancing Your Sporting Experience

After suffering a defeat at home to the Hawks on Wednesday, the Cavaliers are hungry for redemption as they head to Atlanta for their next matchup.

Atlanta moved to 8-11 after its 135-124 win a Cleveland. The Hawks broke a three-game losing streak with that victory behind Trae Young's 20 points and 22 assists, plus De'Andre Hunter's team-high 26 points. Atlanta is 3-5 at home this season and goes on the road Saturday to Charlotte, making this a back-to-back set.

Cleveland is 17-2 and the loss to Atlanta was the first home loss of the season. The Cavaliers followed up its previous loss to the Celtics with a 28-point win over the Pelicans the next night. Both teams had a day of rest ahead of this contest and Cleveland has Saturday off before hosting Boston on Sunday, so back-to-back revenge spots for Cleveland.

NBC Sports Bet Best Bet

Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes Cleveland to go Over their First Quarter Team Total and leans the full game spread of -6.5:

"Atlanta and Cleveland were off to a quick 35-35 first-quarter start in Wednesday's meeting and I expect another one here for Cleveland, but not so much Atlanta.

Cleveland is out for revenge and the last time they lost, the Cavaliers followed it up with a 29-24 first-quarter and 28-point win over New Orleans. However, that was on the second night of a back-to-back and these days had Thursday off.

The Cavaliers scored at least 29 points in every quarter against Atlanta on Wednesday and are the No. 1 scoring team in the first quarter (33.1 PPG). Cleveland averages 48.4% from three in the first quarter (1st) and 54.4% from the field (1st).

In November (14 games), Atlanta ranks second-worst with 31.3 first-quarter points per game allowed, an NBA-worst 11.4 three-pointers allowed, and 23.4 field goal attempts (25th). The offense scored 28, 25 and 22 first-quarter points in the three games prior to beating Cleveland.

I like the Hawks to go Under the first quarter Team Total of 29.5 and lean the full game spread of -7 and -7.5."

Here are the best bets our model is projecting for the Cavaliers and the Hawks:

· Moneyline: NBC Sports finds confidence in taking Cleveland on the ML (-295)

· Spread: NBC Sports has strong confidence in Cleveland -7.5 on the spread

· Total: NBC Sports has low confidence towards a play on the Total UNDER 246.5 points
