Cleveland at New Orleans

Cleveland comes off a loss to the 76ers but the Cavaliers have been a fine bounce back team, 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a loss. This young team plays hard and Byron Scott uses this bench to run at opponents, with five guys playing ten plus minutes off the bench on Friday. The Cavaliers are 5-0 ATS against a team with a winning percentage below .400 and 9-1 ATS in their last ten road games versus a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400.  They face a New Orleans team that is 15-23 at home, with all kinds of weaknesses, 24th in the NBA in scoring, 20th in rebounds and 14th in points allowed. The Hornets are on a 6-14 ATS run and 2-5 ATS in their last seven games playing on one days rest. New Orleans is off a loss to Miami and played without starting point guard Greivis Vasquez for the second time in three games. They committed a whopping 19 turnovers. And when these teams meet the road team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Play the Cavaliers.
