Command Analysis

Charlotte Hornets

Current form
Charlotte continues to sink into the bottomless abyss of defeats – for eight matches in a row, the team has not been able to taste victory. The meeting with Minnesota on March 6 was no exception – a 110:125 home defeat. Lamelo Ball tried to pull the team out alone (28 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists), but in the end remained the hero of a sad evening. Miles Bridges contributed 23 points and Seth Curry added 14, but the Hornets continue to trail the Eastern Conference in 14th place with a 14-47 balance.
Disqualifications and injuries
As if there weren't enough problems, now there are also losses in the squad. Center Mark Williams will miss the game due to a leg injury, making Charlotte's already flimsy defense even more vulnerable.
Interesting facts for betting
- The Hornets are averaging 108 points per game against Cleveland (the last 10 meetings).
Approximate composition
Lamelo Ball — Nick Smith — Josh Green — Miles Bridges — Seth Curry.

Cleveland Cavaliers

Current form
Cleveland is about reinforced concrete confidence. 12 wins in a row, great form, first place in the Eastern Conference. In the last match, they dealt with Miami (112:107), and Donovan Mitchell once again reminded why he is a superstar (26 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists). Deandre Hunter and Evan Mobley added 16 points apiece, Darius Garland - 15. Kenny Atkinson's team has long since resolved the issue of reaching the playoffs, now there is a struggle for leadership in the East (52-10).

All the cards are in the Cavaliers' hands. Charlotte is in chaos, they have problems defending, they have not been able to win eight games in a row, and against them is one of the most powerful teams of the season. Cleveland's victory looks inevitable, and most likely by a solid margin.
Our betting tip is a victory for Cleveland with a handicap of (-15.5) points, taking into account overtime in 1.73

The history of personal meetings speaks for itself – the teams regularly arrange productive matches, and their average total in the last 10 games is 217 points. In this scenario, betting on the top seems quite logical.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 236.5 points, including overtime in 2.05
