Cleveland at Charlotte

This game can turn into a shoot out rather quickly as both of these teams haven scored over 100 ppg in their last 5 played. The difference in the last 5 is that Charlotte has given up well over 110 ppg while Cleveland has held their opponents to under 100ppg. Cleveland has never lost a game, home nor away, when playing against Charlotte and have gone 4-2 ATS in their 6 game history. Their only two losses have been when the line was greater than 12 points (nearly 4 times the line today). This line (3.5) is the smallest line this match up has ever seen and the Bobcats are still without S. May and "The Pick" E. Okafor. As people may remember, Cleveland won in OT when these teams last played about 10 days ago and most notably won on a game-winning shot by LaBron "King" James (his first game winning shot to date). While this game will not come down to a single game winning shot, odds are that James will still make an impact by being the leading scorer in the game. James has been the leading scorer in every match up against the Bobcats and has progressively scored more points in each game; starting with 19 the first time they played and finishing with 37 in their most recent match up. If this trend continues he will top 40 tonight. Look for James to lead the playoff-bound Cavs past the Bobcats in this one by more than 3 points tonight.
