Cleveland Cavaliers - New Orleans Pelicans

Will Cavaliers be able to put up a good performance on February 1? The answer is in our prediction.

Command Analysis

Cleveland Cavaliers

Cavaliers suffered an unexpected defeat in the previous match. Bickerstaff's men lost an away game to Detroit (105:115). This time Cleveland's defense underperformed and failed to stop Pistons' offense.

After a recent defeat team lost the 3rd spot in the Eastern Conference. Bickerstaff's men were overtaken by Philadelphia. Now Cavaliers are at the 4th. Moreover, now Cleveland can lose this position as well. Milwaukee Bucks are getting closer.

New Orleans Pelicans

New Orleans are still fighting for a spot in the play-off zone. Pelicans are currently 12th at the West. They are three games away from the 10th spot. It is hardly a serious handicap, so they have a chance to climb higher, especially if they will retain the current level of form.

We should note that New Orleans recorded the most recent victory one week ago, they beat Indiana (117:113) at home. But after that Pelicans were defeated by Philadelphia (107:117), Denver (105:116) and Boston (97:107).

Tip and bets

TipHandicap (-7) on Cleveland

1.70

New Orleans' defeats can be explained with injuries of their leaders - Jonas Valanciunas and Brandon Ingram. Without these players Pelicans won't be able to compete against top teams. In the upcoming match teams will have to do without their key players as well, because they are still on injuried list. We don't think that visitors will be able to beat Cleveland.

Our prediction - Cleveland to win with a handicap of (-7) points

Will the prediction win?

TipTotal under 216,5 points

1.61

Recent matches of New Orleans were low-scoring. Pelicans rarely beat the total of 100 points. Cleveland Cavaliers are looking great on defense, so we are not expecting a high-scoring game.

Our second bet is on total under 216,5 points
