Opinion – Charlotte (+7 ½) over CLEVELAND

Rotation #507 – 4:35 pm Pacific

Cleveland has won and covered the spread in each of their last 3 games but that’s something that could lead to laziness against a Hornets team they beat earlier this season. Cleveland is just 2-10-1 ATS the last couple of years after covering in 3 consecutive games but the reason I like Charlotte in this game is because I think the Hornets are a bit underrated now that they have all their pieces back. Charlotte has played well in both games since Marvin Williams returned to the lineup after missing 6 games and I favor Cleveland by just 5 ½ points in this game. I’ll lean with the Hornets plus the points and I’d take Charlotte in a 1-Star Best Bet at +8 or more.
