With Kyrie Irving playing well, the Cavaliers have won six of their last nine and five of their last six. Irving put up 35 points vs. the Thunder in a big upset win on Saturday, showing what this team can do if Irving is playing to his potential. In come the Charlotte Bobcats who have won just 11 games this season, including five on the road. Since last season, Charlotte seems to struggle even more vs. expectations when facing another bad team. Over the past two seasons, the Bobcats are just 16-28 ATS vs. losing teams and 5-20 ATS vs. teams that allow 99+ points per game! Over that span they are 20-35 ATS as an underdog in the 3.5 to 9.5 point range. They really struggle vs. up-tempo teams like Cleveland (teams that attempt 83+ shots per game), going just 5-18 ATS vs. such teams since last season. Charlotte is coming off a rare ATS win and that's not a good sign for them as they are 2-14 ATS in their next game this season after covering the number. Take the Cavs to win and cover this number.
