Betting on the Cleveland Cavaliers
- Regular Season Record: 42-27
Cleveland is fourth in the East, but the team is unable to relax as it has just a small cushion of games protecting its spot. If the team fails to keep itself focused, it could lose its spot and enter the Play In. The team has recorded three wins in a row, but the Heat defeated it in the second game of their series, 119-115.
In that game, the Cavaliers did not have a bad game, they had the advantage in parts of the game, but the bench failed to have the expected impact in the game. In fact, it is the weakest point of the team, averaging 26 points per game, which places Cleveland among the worst in the league (28th place).
Meanwhile, their starters are wonderful, Donovan Mitchell scored 42 points in the last game, but still it was not enough. Jarret Allen tried to recover under the boards (13 rebounds) but if he does not get help, things get complicated when he gets tired.
Betting on the Charlotte Hornets
- Regular Season Record: 22-46
Although it may seem incredible, the Hornets are, mathematically, not eliminated. They are second to last and are 10 games away from the Play In, if they win all the games they have left, or go on a Milwaukee type streak, they would be able to surprise the NBA.
They have recorded two wins in a row, against the Knicks 112-105 and against the Pistons 113-103. Also the team is relying on Kelly Oubre Jr. who is playing incredibly.
He has been the team’s leading scorer for 5 games with at least 26 points scored per game. Charlotte is not a play machine, and unless Michael Jordan comes down from the box to reinforce them, we don’t see how they can get into the Play In.
JefeBet Prediction
They play in Charlotte, but the Cleveland is the team that is going through the best moment. The Cavs are scoring, on average, 112 points per game and conceding only 106, while Charlotte is scoring 111 and conceding 117.
At home, the Hornets are not so good either. They have a negative record with only 11 wins. All of this will combine for a Cavs victory. Jordan is not going to be happy for sure.
Predictions: Cleveland Cavaliers 121-104 Charlotte Hornets
