The Atlanta Hawks look to remain perfect in the preseason as they head to Cleveland tonight to face the Cavaliers. Tip off is 7:00 pm ET at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.

Vegas has Cleveland listed as a 2.0-point favorite with an over/under set at 224.5

The Hawks (2-0) picked up their two wins over the favored Milwaukee Bucks in Abu Dhabi. The last came on Saturday, 118-109, with Trae Young leading the way with 31 points on 11 of 15 shooting from the field.

The Cavs (0-2) dropped both games against the Philadelphia 76ers. Their last time on the court was a 113-97 setback at home on Monday as Cleveland struggled from the three-point arc (23.8 percent).
