Cleveland has an impressive winning streak, so it can relax. If you look at the Cavalrymen's recent matches, you can see that they did not try to smash the opponent. They defeated the same Charlotte with a difference of one point. It looks like Kenny Atkinson's team decided to relax a bit.
Brooklyn is also favored by the fact that the team successfully performs in Ohio, where it regularly resists cavalrymen. Considering all this, we suggest believing in the guests' abilities and playing a positive handicap.
Our betting tip is Brooklyn with a handicap of (+19.5) points in 1.77
