The set-up: The Atlanta Hawks have a new center (Dwight Howard) and a new PG (Dennis Schroder) this season and have opened 4-2. The defending champion Cleveland Cavs will host the the Hawks tonight and enter this contest as the NBA's lone remaining unbeaten at 6-0 (but just 2-4 ATS).

Atlanta: Howard scored 20 points on 8-of-10 shooting and added 14 rebounds in Saturday's win, highlighting a game which saw all five Atlanta starters score in double figures (team connected on 56.5% from the floor). PG Dennis Schroder (6-of-14) was the only starter to connect on fewer than 50 percent of his shots but made up for it with 12 assists. Schroder is averaging 15 points and 6.5 APG in replacing Jeff Teague at point guard. Al Horford signed with the Celtics and Howard was brought in to replace him. Howard checks in at 17.0 PPG & 12.3 RPG. The other three starters are PF Millsap (17.8 & 8.3), SF Bazemore (9.5) and SG Korver (8.8).

Cleveland: The team's unbeaten start has been fueled by its "Big 3," as Irving leads the team with 23.0 PPG, followed by LBJ's 22.8 (8.8 RPG & 10.3 APG) and Love's 21.7 & 8.5. James moved into 10th place on the NBA's all-time scoring list in Saturday's 102-101 at Philadelphia, scoring 25 points to go along with eight rebounds and 14 assists.

The pick: The Cavs swept the Hawks in last year's Eastern Conference semifinals, as well as sweeping them back in the 2014 Eastern Conference finals. The Cavs won't go 82-0, so this is a spot to take the points. Atlanta is an 8* play.
