Atlanta Hawks vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction & Picks, October 29, 2026

For tonight's game, Dyson Daniels needs to grab fewer than 6 rebounds against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Hawks allow their opponents to pull down about 44.6 rebounds a game, which is pretty typical for the league. However, Daniels has been getting limited playing time lately, and that could keep his numbers down. While he has the talent, the Cavaliers don't give up too many rebounds compared to other teams. With both teams playing at a similar pace and the matchup being close, it's going to be tough for Daniels to hit that number. The biggest risk is that he could surprise everyone and have a standout game, but based on recent trends, this bet looks solid.

Atlanta Hawks vs Cleveland Cavaliers: Aaron Wiggins Under 9.5 Points (+165)

The Atlanta Hawks allow a lot of three-point attempts and give up plenty of rebounds, which could make it tough for Aaron Wiggins to find his rhythm. With both teams playing at a fast pace, Wiggins might get some chances, but he could be up against a solid Cavaliers defense that has shown it can limit scoring opportunities. Betting on Wiggins to score under 9.5 points feels like a smart choice here. The risk is that he could get hot early or find his way to the free-throw line, which makes this a tricky pick. Overall, our numbers suggest there's a good chance he stays below that mark tonight at the State Farm Arena.

Atlanta Hawks vs Cleveland Cavaliers: Sam Merrill Under 6.5 Points (+175)

You can get +175 on Sam Merrill scoring under 6.5 points, which looks like a solid bet. The Atlanta Hawks have a way of forcing turnovers and getting in the heads of their opponents, and they give up quite a few rebounds too. This means Cleveland might struggle to get clean shots, which could limit Merrill's chances to score. While the Hawks let opponents shoot a lot of threes, Cleveland isn't exactly a high-scoring team, and that could hurt Merrill's chances. Also, if the game stays close, the ball might not find him as often. This bet has a good chance, but keep in mind Merrill could surprise us if he finds his rhythm.
