A pair of bad offensive teams clash in this one. Charlotte is #20 in the NBA in scoring, #27 in shooting, and #21 from long range. The Hornets will lean on defense, battling for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. They're on a 4-0-1 run UNDER after holding Detroit to 91 points the last game. They are also 8-2 UNDER the total against the NBA Central division. It won't take much to shut down the Cleveland offense, #29 in the NBA in scoring (only Memphis is worse), plus #28 in field goal shooting. The UNDER has covered five straight meetings between these teams, so look for far more defense than offense. Play the UNDER.
