Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Preview

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been on an absolute tear as they’ve won 16 of their last 17 games overall and they will be eager to build on their season-high 12-game win streak after sneaking past the Heat in a 112-107 home win on Wednesday. Donovan Mitchell led the team with 26 points, seven rebounds, and five assists, Evan Mobley and De’Andre Hunter scored 16 points each while Darius Garland chipped in with 15 points and 10 assists. As a team, the Cavaliers shot 47 percent from the field and 14 of 40 from the 3-point line. They looked to be in trouble when they squandered their 17-point lead and trailed by seven points in the fourth quarter before they closed the final 5:56 on a 19-7 run to escape with the narrow win at home.

Charlotte Hornets Betting Preview

Meanwhile, the Charlotte Hornets are in terrible form as they’ve lost 16 of their last 18 games overall and they will be hoping to arrest an eight-game losing streak after getting thrashed by the Timberwolves in a 125-110 home defeat on Wednesday. LaMelo Ball led the team with 28 points, 10 rebounds, and six assists, Miles Bridges added 23 points with nine rebounds and five assists while Seth Curry chipped in with 14 points off the bench. As a team, the Hornets shot 44 percent from the field and 12 of 42 from the 3-point line. They got off to a poor start and leaked 39 points in the first quarter to trail by as many as 22 points before they went on a late run to narrow the margin slightly. The Hornets will meet the Nets, Heat, Hawks, and Spurs after this game.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction

The Cavaliers are currently the hottest team in the league, they don’t have any players listed on the injury report and were always going to be massive favorites in this matchup given how bad the Hornets have been. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Cavaliers decided to rest a couple of players at the last moment given how well they’ve been playing lately. But I still wouldn’t trust the Hornets to hang with a shorthanded Cavaliers squad as they’ve arguably been the worst team in the league over the past few weeks.
