Chip's NBA Playoff Power Play Winner (Hawks/Cavaliers)
(NBA) Atlanta vs. Cleveland,
Point Spread: 9.50 | -115.00 Atlanta (Away)
Result: Win
Atlanta at Cleveland 8:30 ET
Hawks (+) over Cavaliers- As if losing the first two playoff games at home in the conference final wasn't bad enough the Atlanta Hawks received more bad news as their best outside shooter the NBA's three-point percentage leader Kyle Korver will be gone for the remainder of the playoffs which won't be long of the Cavaliers have anything to do with it. Cleveland won easily without Kyrie Irving in Game 2 and with a 2-0 series lead may be rested once again as the Cavaliers with LeBron James have enough firepower to win here. Korver isn't the only Hawks banged-up player as Carroll and Milsap are hurting. Still, this is the playoffs and I expect a big enough effort out of Atlanta to keep this one within the 'number.' Take the HAWKS!
