Not even a 29-point, 9-assists performance from Trae Young could help the Atlanta Hawks past the Orlando Magic, 126-135, on Monday. Young, who poured in 48 points in a loss to the New York Knicks, shot 7-for-19 from the field and 3-for-11 from beyond the three-point line in the game.

Online Bookmakers aren’t quite sure who has the edge in the fourth meeting between the Hawks and the Cavaliers. The Hawks are 4-6 in their last 10 games, but the Cavaliers (1-9 in the last 10) have won two of three head-to-head contests this season.

Moneyline: Bet on the Hawks at -120. Trae Young has been feeling it the past two games and I am expecting another big night from him.

ATS: Pick the Hawks to cover the spread. If the spread stays this close, I feel Atlanta has legit shot at nabbing an ATS win at the expense of the Cavs.

TOTALs: Back the UNDER at 231 points. The Hawks are going to get buckets with Young leading the charge. The concern here is the Cavs, who just scored 92 points in Andre Drummond’s debut.

Score Prediction: 115 – 103 Hawks
