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

Odds correct at time of publishing

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.
