The Cleveland Cavaliers, who are 7-6 away from home this season, will be going on the road to take on the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night. These two teams have had an interesting series so far this year, as each has been able to pick up a lopsided win from their two games in Cleveland.
The Cavaliers played one of their worst games of the season on Sunday when the Detroit Pistons came into town and demolished them 103-80. The Cavs had 167 turnovers in that loss and made just five of their 29 three-point attempts.
Through 30 games this season, the Cavs haven't had too many issues scoring, but they are in the bottom half of the Eastern Conference in points allowed. Small forward LeBron James has made just under 50 percent of his shots this season and is currently averaging 25.2 points per game.
After losing badly to the Milwaukee Bucks last Friday, the Hawks were able to get quick revenge by beating them 90-85 on the road on Saturday. They didn't shoot the ball well in that game, but they made up for it by forcing the Bucks into committing 19 turnovers.
Through 30 games this season, the Hawks are in the top 10 in the NBA in both assists per game and points allowed per game. Point guard Jeff Teague has had an impressive start to the year by averaging 16.6 points, 6.9 assists and 1.6 steals per game.
