Cleveland Cavaliers vs Atlanta Hawks Final Score & Over/Under Result — Apr 10, 2026

Atlanta's 22-point victory over Cleveland landed at 226 combined points, sitting 7.5 under the market total of 233.5. The game's arc—a balanced first half followed by a second-half acceleration—shaped both the final margin and the total's underwhelming finish.

The first half moved methodically through 109 combined points across 48 minutes. Atlanta held a narrow edge early; Cleveland kept pace through two quarters despite James Harden's restrained 20 points and 5 assists. The Hawks' offensive firepower, led by CJ McCollum's 29 points, Jalen Johnson's 18 points and 9 rebounds, and Nickeil Alexander-Walker's 18 points, began to separate in the third quarter. By the end of Q3, Atlanta had opened room to operate. The fourth quarter then exploded to 65 combined points—the game's highest-scoring frame—yet Cleveland's late surge with 37 fourth-quarter points merely trimmed the deficit. Tyrese Proctor (15 points, 4 assists) and Jaylon Tyson (15 points, 4 rebounds) fueled the Cavaliers' comeback attempt but fell short.

This loss marked a reversal of the season series for Cleveland, which had won two of the three prior meetings, including a 253-point combined total in November. DAGGER's pregame lean to the over missed, but a live call during the game struck. The under ultimately cashed despite that final-quarter burst, as the Hawks' controlled, efficient early-game execution—aided by their recent scoring form of 123.1 points per game—proved decisive.
