Jeff Green (whooping cough) missed the last game and will be out for an undetermined time. Kyle Korver is away from the team spending time at home after a death in the family. Cedi Osman (hip) has missed eight games and his return date is unknown.
Charlotte Hornets
Between Dwight Howard’s 32-30 game and Kemba Walker scoring 46 points on an extremely efficient 13 of 18 the Hornets are rolling. This is the squad most expected in their preseason predictions.
The issue has been consistency and bringing the same effort against the elite squads. Had Charlotte been able to channel this effort for all 82 they would be in the mix for the postseason instead of headed to the lottery.

Free Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Charlotte Hornets NBA Prediction:
A sign of how well the Hornets are playing is evidenced by the meager 1.5 point spread. This despite the Cavaliers owning an eight game win streak on Charlotte. As for the Cavaliers porous defense, they have issues stopping driving guards as well as size. Therefore stopping Walker and Howard will present a major test for Cleveland.
Will the Cavaliers decide to just slug it out offensively, or will they attempt to start implementing a defensive style they can carry forward into the postseason.
4* Free NBA Betting Pick: Cavaliers -1.5
Betting against a clicking offense and win streak of eight in a row makes no sense. In spite of a healthy 229.5 over/under it’s also worth considering betting the over because Charlotte scored 140 on Memphis and 137 on New York while the Cavaliers haven’t scored below 120 in their past four games.
