Quicken Loans Arena, Charlotte, North Carolina

We like the OVER when the Cavs travel to Charlotte this afternoon. The Hornets O/U is 6-4 in their last ten games and 3-1 as the underdog. Cleveland'S OVER is 7-3 in their last ten out and 9-6 following a win. Additionally, the OVER is 4-2 in the last half dozen meetings between these teams, and the OVER is a collective 5-2 this season when the Cavs or Hornets have played on zero nights rest.
Zooming out, the O/U's 76-65-2 record in the second of back-to-backs this year (for a 54% win rate) suggests a bias in favor of the OVER--Charlotte's 4-0 O/U from this position places the Hornets at the top of the heap by this measure. An ever so slight edge was evident last season too (277-272-4). Thus, broader macro trends also seem to sync with our pick.
Happy betting!!
