New Orleans at Cleveland

December 23, 2025

7:30 PM Eastern

New Orleans has won five in a row, after knocking off Dallas yesterday, 119-113, as an underdog. They also won their last road game, 114-104, at Chicago as a +4.5 dog. New Orleans is on an 18-7-1 ATS run. A year ago, Cleveland was the buzz of the NBA, going 30-11 at home. But the same magic just hasn't been there, 10-8 at home. The Cavs also played yesterday, beating Charlotte 139-132, but failed to cover as 9-point favorites. The defense ranks 20th in points allowed, 15th in shooting allowed, and 25th in defending beyond the arc. Cleveland is 8-22 ATS this season, part of an overvalued 9-26 ATS run. Play New Orleans.

Cleveland at New Orleans

November 6, 2024

8:00 PM Eastern

Cleveland is 8-0 after two close wins over Milwaukee. The Cavaliers had their first ATS loss of the season on Monday, failing to cover as 8.5-point favorites while defeating the Bucks 116-114. Now they go to New Orleans following those two big victories putting them in a slight letdown situation. This is also Cleveland's ninth game in 14 days. The Pelicans are battling injuries, which is why they are getting plenty of points at home although Brandon Ingram has carried the team lately, scoring 27 points against Portland on Monday. The Pelicans have won nine of their past 11 home games against the Cavaliers and they hope to get Zion Williamson (thigh) back tonight. Take the points with the Pelicans.
