Hornets vs Cavaliers prediction

We know the Hornets are a poor team that’s not winning games and has failed to cover 7 of their last 10 games despite being massive underdogs. With a cover percentage of 38.5 percent, only the Hawks are worse at covering numbers than the Hornets. I get it. However, the Cavs are still without Mitchell and Strus, and they’re on the end of a back to back. Also, the Cavs were just taken behind the woodshed yesterday by the Heat, a game where they scored 84 points. As I said in a previous article, these massive lines we’re seeing everywhere in the NBA lately is strange. Every game, it’s a double-digit favorite. It’s Hornets or pass for me.
