Cleveland at Charlotte

Cleveland's last two games totaled 214 and 206 points: a 119-95 win over Philadelphia on Friday and a 109-97 loss to New York on Saturday. Those are the two lowest totals of the Cavaliers' season, which opened with eight straight games of 220 or more combined points. Philadelphia's 95 is the fewest any opponent has scored against Cleveland this year. Against New York, Donovan Mitchell scored 37 of the Cavaliers' 97, so the scoring ran through one man. Now Cleveland meets a Charlotte offense that put up 91 against Detroit, 104 at Brooklyn and 80 against Boston in its last three games. All three were losses, and they are part of a six-game losing streak. The Hornets make 39.3% of their field goals and trail Cleveland by 6.2 assists per game. They are also coming off a 119-80 home loss to Boston on Friday, with two days off since. Charlotte allowed 124, 114 and 119 in those same three losses. Even so, Cleveland's two most recent totals came in under the 220 mark its first eight games reached. My play is the UNDER tonight against a Hornets team making 28.8% of its threes, second-worst in the NBA.
