Play: Cleveland +1 -107
Time: 8:30 p.m. ET
TV: TNT
Reasoning: Kyrie Irving (knee, foot) says he is ready for this one after playing only 12 minutes at Chicago in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Still, the Cavaliers beat the Bulls 94-73, and that was after getting only 15 points from LeBron James. In the postseason James is averaging 26.5 points, 10.2 rebounds and 9.2 assists. Tristan Thompson has posted three double-doubles in his last four tilts. Atlanta is 68-26 including the playoffs, but it has played the NBA's easiest schedule. The Hawks didn't get much production from Jeff Teague in their first three games of their series against Washington and they dropped two of those contests. And backup Dennis Schroder is coming off of back-to-back 3-for-12 shooting performances. Cleveland plays better perimeter defense, makes more free throws and has a huge rebounding edge.
Record: 365-275-13 (57.0%)
Bankroll: +341.41%
