Charlotte Hornets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Preview

As the Charlotte Hornets, boasting a 5-7 record, prepare to take on the undefeated Cleveland Cavaliers (14-0), the odds heavily favor the Cavaliers. The game, set to tip off at 6:00 PM ET at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, promises to be an intriguing matchup with Cleveland entering as a massive favorite, reflected in a spread of -10.0. The moneyline odds place the Cavaliers at -500, suggesting an implied win probability of 81%, while the Hornets sit at +400, implying only a 19% chance of victory.

The Hornets face a daunting challenge, especially since they are coming off a back-to-back game, having narrowly defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 115-114. Despite being 4.0-point underdogs with only a 40% chance of winning, Charlotte managed to pull off an upset. However, their recent road struggles—having lost four consecutive away games—could hinder their performance against a red-hot Cleveland team that has notched 14 straight wins.

Cleveland's dominant form was on full display in their last game, a high-scoring 144-126 triumph over the Chicago Bulls, underscoring their offensive prowess. Given the Cavaliers' superior form, betting markets are leaning towards a decisive home victory. However, sharp bettors are eyeing LaMelo Ball's Points and Assists, currently set at Under 33.5 (-110), as a potentially valuable player prop bet.

For those considering betting on the total points, there is notable interest in the Under, with opinions suggesting it might be mispriced. As the Cavaliers seek to extend their winning streak, the Hornets aim to break their road woes, making this Sunday night clash a compelling spectacle for fans and bettors alike.
