1.85Tip and bets
The meeting between Charlotte and Cleveland should not be a high-scoring one. The Hornets have huge problems with their roster, so they have a lot of reserves. It is not surprising that they do not look their best in attack. Given their recent results, we assume that the opponents will not break the 220.5 point mark.
Our prediction is total under 220.5 points at 1.80
Bet on the outcome
Charlotte has lost its last few games without much resistance. It is likely that the Hornets will not be able to resist Cleveland.
Prediction: Cleveland with a handicap of (-10.5) points for 1.70
Bet on statistics
Mitchell has scored 28 or more points in three of his last five games. Donovan is the true leader of Cleveland, so he must perform at his level.
Prediction - Donovan Mitchell: Total over 26.5 points at 1.80
