Predictions, Odds, and Betting Preview for the Charlotte Hornets vs Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Regular Season Game on April 9, 2023
- Where: Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, Cleveland, Ohio
- When: Sunday, April 9, 2023, 1:00 PM E.T.
Betting on the Charlotte Hornets
- Regular Season Record: 26-55
The Hornets have been one of the biggest letdowns of the season, despite having one of the most promising young players in the league, LaMelo Ball, the team has not even been able to make it to the play-in stage of the campaign.
In fact, Charlotte is currently on a four-game losing streak after being defeated last Friday to the weakest team in the Western Conference, the Houston Rockets, by a score of 112-109. On that occasion, Svi Mykhailiuk was the team’s top scorer, contributing with around 25 points.
The Hornets’ poor record is reflected in their stats, as they are the fourth-worst offensive team in the league, scoring only 111.0 points per game.They are also one of the weakest defensive teams, allowing 117.5 points per game.
Betting on the Cleveland Cavaliers
- Regular Season Record: 51-30
Things have been very different on the Cavaliers’ side, who were wise to sign Donovan Mitchell to lead their offense this season, as they will finish this regular round comfortably in fourth place in the Western Conference.
Despite Mitchell’s high level of play, the main weapon the Cavaliers have had this season has been their defense. In fact, they are the best defensive team in the NBA, allowing only 106.9 points per game and limiting their opponents to a 46.8% shooting from the field.
That offensive efficiency was demonstrated in their most recent presentation, in which they added a third win in a row by defeating the Orlando Magic 118-84, in a game in which they rested their main players and Danny Green was the team’s top scorer with 21 points.
JefeBet Prediction
In this game, the Cavaliers will once again rest important players such as Mitchell, Darius Garland, among others, so they will not have the same offensive efficiency they usually have, even against a weak visiting defense.
However, even though they will not be as solid on defense, they will still be good enough to stop one of the worst offenses in the league like the Hornets, which will also be missing some players.
With neither team having much at stake, we are expecting to see a slow-paced game with plenty of offensive miscues, resulting in a low-scoring affair.
Prediction: Cleveland Cavaliers Moneyline and Under (CHA 96-111 CLE).
