Cleveland Cavaliers vs Charlotte Hornets Prediction
The Cleveland Cavaliers are getting all of the love from oddsmakers because they’re 14-0 SU and 10-4 ATS. The Cavs are playing elite ball on both sides of the ball and are catching a subpar Hornets team on the end of a back-to-back. I get it. However, the Hornets have won 3 of the last 4 games against the Cavs. The Hornets have covered 5 of their last 7 games. Also, the Cavs are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games as a double-digit favorite. Lots of points here, and maybe a slight overreaction to the Cavaliers. Give me the buckets.
