Now that the Atlanta Hawks have advanced to the NBA Eastern Conference semifinals after beating Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat they know the next challenge, facing  LeBron James and the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers, will be much harder.

The Cavaliers, who are 41-2 at home this season after sweeping Detroit in the first round, took a six-point victory over the Hawks two months ago at Quicken Loans Arena.

Though the Hawks were 1-3 this season against Cleveland, Atlanta also take away some confidence from ending the Cavs' 11-game winning streak five months ago at Philips Arena.

James is coming off a sweep of the Pistons in which he joined Oscar Robertson as the only other NBA player to average 32 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 7.5 assists in a single postseason series.

The 12-point underdog Hawks are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings in Cleveland.
