Cleveland at Charlotte

January 21, 2026

7:00 PM Eastern

Cleveland is fourth in the NBA in scoring (119.6 ppg) behind Donovan Mitchell (29 ppg). The defense has slipped significantly from a year ago, ranking 21st in points allowed (117.8 per game) and 14th in shooting allowed. That defense was carved up in a 136-104 home loss to Oklahoma City, but in their last two road games, the Cavs took two at Philadelphia, scoring 133 and 117 points. Charlotte's offense is fifth in 3-point shooting (37.2%) and sixth from the free-throw line, while the defense ranks 17th in points surrendered and 24th in shooting allowed. Charlotte is on a 7-5 run OVER the total. These teams last met in December, a 139-132 Cleveland win, that sailed OVER 239.5 by 31 points. The Cavs shot 55%, the Hornets 49%. Take Cleveland/Charlotte OVER the total.

Charlotte at Cleveland

December 14, 2025

3:30 PM Eastern

The Hornets are well below average defensively. Yet the UNDER has cashed in 64% of their games this season. The UNDER is 8-1 in Charlotte's last name games. Once again, the oddsmaker has set too high a total in a game involving the Hornets. Cleveland struggles to generate offense outside of Donovan Mitchell, who averages 31.3 points a game. No other Cavaliers player averages more than 19 points a game. The UNDER is 9-4 in Cleveland's last 13 games and 14-12 on the season. The Cavaliers are huge favorites here. If they establish a lead, as expected, they will likely slow the pace. The Cavaliers should play with more defensive intensity after nearly getting upset by the Wizards two days ago in a 130-126 road win. Take the UNDER.
