Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Charlotte is 4-2 ATS in its last 6 games and 5-2 ATS in its last 7 games against Cleveland. The Hornets may be coming off a nasty blowout loss to the Pistons, but I am confident they will play a better game against the Cavs, the team they took down in overtime seven days ago. LaMelo Ball is now back in the lineup, forming a deadly backcourt with Rookie of the Year front-runner Kon Knueppel. As for the Cavs, they are currently dealing with injuries to their key cogs, including Evan Mobley (calf strain), Donovan Mitchell (Illness), and Max Struss (foot).
Our betting prediction for the Charlotte Hornets vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers: The Hornets +9.5 points
