Charlotte at Cleveland

Charlotte is on a nice win streak, but the team is 10-17 on the road and plays its fourth straight on the road tonight. They have Al Jefferson back from an injury, but he is coming off the bench on a minutes restriction. They head to a tough place to play, with the Cavaliers in bounce-back mode after a tired showing Monday in a home loss to Detroit. But the last time they lost a game was at home to Boston and the next game they won by 14 as a -9 favorite over New Orleans. Cleveland is third in the NBA in points allowed and ninth in points scored. This is Cleveland's second straight home game and their seventh home game in the last eight contests. Back the Cleveland Cavaliers.
