Charlotte Hornets
The recent matches of the Hornets cannot be considered successful. The team from North Carolina continues to suffer defeats and has already lost five consecutive matches. In the last ones, Charlotte lost to Atlanta (91:132) and Cleveland (92:115). Miles Bridges continues to shine for the Hornets, although he scored only 13 points in the last match. Meanwhile, Brendan Miller was the best performer, scoring 24 points.
Cleveland Cavaliers
In the previous match, Cleveland easily handled Charlotte. In that game, Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley, and George Niang stood out for the Cavaliers, each scoring 17 points. In the Eastern Conference standings, Cleveland continues to hold the third position. It seems that the team will have no problems reaching the playoffs.
Prediction
Our expert pick:
The Hornets are in a very bad state in terms of attack. Lately, the team has struggled to even score 100 points. With such performance, it's not reasonable to expect that the encounter with Cleveland will be successful. We believe that the opponents will not score more than 206 points. Our prediction is under 206.5 total points at odds of 1.85. The Hornets have lost all motivation and now play just for fun. In this scenario, it's unlikely that they will offer much resistance against Cleveland. Prediction: Cleveland with a handicap (-9.5) points. This bet can be placed at odds of 1.72.
