Key Factors

The April 10 game illustrated that when the Hawks shoot efficiently and force turnovers, they can build commanding leads. The Cavs, despite locking into the No. 4 seed, showed vulnerability when their three-point shooting failed them. Against the Hawks specifically, Cleveland has shot 26% from three in their most recent matchup — a figure that will need to improve if they hope to flip the result.

Cavs vs hawks last 10 games

Taking the full view of the last 10 games between these teams, the pattern tilts toward Cleveland — but recent results tell a more complicated story. AiScore’s data shows the Cavs have won 53 games in head-to-head matchups since 2004, while the Hawks have taken 40.

Win-Loss Record

Looking at the most recent five-game samples, the Hawks won 3 of their last 5 against the Cavs, averaging 116.6 points per game while allowing 113.4. The Cavs’ recent form against the Hawks shows just 1 win in their last 5, averaging 114.2 points per game but giving up 117.6 to Atlanta.

Trends

The trajectory has shifted in the Hawks’ favor over the most recent stretch. Hawks wins on Nov 28, 2025 (130-123) and April 10, 2026 (124-102) bookend a period where Atlanta found ways to win both high-scoring and low-scoring affairs.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Atlanta Hawks Stats

The team-by-team profiles reveal different strengths beyond the head-to-head narrative. The Land of Basketball’s all-time regular season data shows the Hawks have won 132 games against the Cavs over 247 total matchups, while Cleveland holds 115 wins in that span.

Overall H2H

The historical record shows Cleveland has generally had the edge, though recent seasons have narrowed that gap. The Hawks’ recent three wins in five matchups suggest the trajectory may be shifting, particularly given the emergence of Jalen Johnson as a consistent 20-plus point scorer.

PPG Averages

AiScore’s data shows the Cavs average 105.4 points per game against the Hawks, compared to Atlanta’s 103.2. That two-point differential has been enough to tip several close games in Cleveland’s favor over the years, though the 2025-26 season has seen more high-scoring battles favoring the Hawks.

The implication: Donovan Mitchell’s scoring advantage gives the Cavs an individual edge, but the Hawks’ team cohesion has translated to more wins in recent head-to-head matchups despite lower individual point-per-game averages.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Atlanta Hawks timeline

The timeline of recent matchups reveals a team finding its footing at the right moment. The Hawks have won three of the last five games against the Cavs, with the victories coming in very different contexts — a high-scoring shootout, a wire-to-wire blowout, and a game with major playoff implications.

Key Matches

The most recent encounter on April 10, 2026 served as a statement game. According to CBS Sports, the Hawks clinched their playoff spot and Southeast Division title with the 124-102 victory. The Cavs, locked into the No. 4 seed, had little to play for and struggled accordingly, shooting just 25.9% from three-point range.

Going back further, the Nov 28, 2025 game saw Jalen Johnson deliver a near triple-double of his own — 29 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists — to lead the Hawks to a 130-123 win. That game featured the Cavs actually shooting better from three (44%) than the Hawks (37%), but Atlanta’s superior overall field goal percentage (53% vs 46%) made the difference.

Milestones

Jaylon Tyson’s return from a 10-game absence on that same date marked his comeback game. And Jalen Johnson’s two recent near-triple-doubles show how his all-around game has developed as a focal point of the Hawks’ offense.
