The Cleveland Cavaliers have three games left in the regular season. As of now, it seems like they’re going to match up against the Atlanta Hawks in the first round. That makes it as good a time as any to ask how you think that potential series would go.

The Hawks have turned it on over the past couple of months. They’ve been 19-4 since the All-Star break, which is good for the third-best record in the league and the best in the conference in that span. They’ve done this on the defensive end as they’ve registered an impressive 107.3 defensive rating since that time.
They’re a very different team now than they were at the start of the season. The Hawks came into this year hoping to make a Trae Young and Kristaps Porzingis-led starting unit work. They pivoted away from that at the deadline, handing the reins over to Jalen Johnson.
Atlanta is a wing-heavy team. They have size and versatility at every position and would be a good test for the Cavs if they were to meet in the first round.
Meanwhile, it’s difficult to know what to make of this Cavaliers team. The highs have been high since the James Harden trade, but the inconsistencies on the defensive end make it difficult to predict how exactly the playoffs will go.
How do you think a first-round series between the Cavs and Hawks would go? Let us know by voting below, and tell us why you voted how you did in the comments.
