As a 9.5-point favorite, Cleveland is expected to do the heavy lifting tonight, but I also see the Hornets scoring quite a bit. Charlotte has scored at least 112 points in their last four games. The over is also 6-1 in Hornet's last seven road games against a team with a winning home record. Cleveland has allowed at least 113 points in four of its last five overall, and the over is 5-1 in the last six home games for Cleveland.
Over the last five games Charlottle is 26th in defensive rating and Cleveland is dead last.
