Last Updated: 03/27/2023 at 9:01 PM ET

In Tuesday night NBA action, the Cleveland Cavaliers will invade State Farm Arena to take on the Atlanta Hawks. The Cavaliers (48-28) are riding a four-game winning streak and trail Philadelphia by two full games for third place in the Eastern Conference standings. On Sunday, Cleveland limited Houston to 11 points over the final 12 minutes of a 108-91 home victory.

Jarrett Allen led five Cleveland players in double figures with 24 points on 8-for-11 shooting and grabbed 14 rebounds. All-Star G Donovan Mitchell chipped in 22 points (8-16 FG) and five rebounds for the Cavaliers, who converted 21-for-24 from the charity stripe.

The Atlanta Hawks are five games above .500 at home and are tied with Toronto for eighth place in the Eastern Conference standings. On Sunday, Atlanta was unable to make the plays down the stretch of a 123-119 home loss versus Memphis. The Hawks (37-38) missed 24 of 31 from the three-point line and allowed the Grizzlies to shoot 54 percent from the field.

Atlanta G Trae Young tallied a game-high 28 points on 7-for-14 shooting and dished out ten assists. Clint Capela added 18 points to go along with 16 rebounds and four blocks. De’Andre Hunter scored 17 points on an inefficient 8-for-20 from the field and pulled down five boards for the Hawks. 

Cleveland C Jarrett Allen is dealing with a left groin strain and is listed as questionable for this game. The Cavaliers lead the league in defensive efficiency and the Hawks rank 22nd in that category. Look for Cleveland to flex their muscle on that end of the floor and win on the road. Final Score Prediction, Cleveland Cavaliers win 121-113.
