img7:00 PM Eastern

Charlotte will look to even the season series after losing two of the first three meetings and the Hornets have been playing much better since, including winning 10 of 12. They are 34-22 ATS compared to 24-32 ATS for Cleveland this season. Charlotte is on a current 6-1 ATS run and it has gone UNDER in six of those games. The Hornets also have stayed UNDER six home games in a row and four of the past five meetings with the Cavaliers have gone UNDER. Cleveland has won six straight, but only one of those opponents is above .500. The Cavaliers are 1-4 ATS the past five meetings. Charlotte has held teams to fewer than 100 points in four of its past 10 games. Take the Hornets and the UNDER.
