Hornets Seek Revenge
The Charlotte Hornets slipped to 22-48 on the season after losing to Cleveland on Sunday. The Hornets may have lost the game due to a 19-10 turnover disadvantage.
Terry Rozier led his team in scoring with 27 points on 10-19 from the field. Nick Richards recorded a 15 point, 12 rebound double-double while PJ Washington added 19 points and 5 rebounds.

They sit at 21st in defensive rating and 23rd in defensive scoring with 117.5 points allowed per game. Mark Williams (thumb) and Cody Martin (knee) have both been ruled out for this contest while Kelly Oubre Jr is probable with a back issue.
Cavaliers Riding High After Comeback Victory
The Cleveland Cavaliers improved to 43-27 on the season after their comeback victory over Charlotte on Sunday.
The Cavaliers actually lost the majority of the statistical categories but did have a 56-52 edge in points in the paint. Darius Garland led all scorers with 28 points along with 6 rebounds and 6 assists. Donovan Mitchell scored 23 points while Evan Mobley added 18 points and 9 rebounds.

Charlotte Hornets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Player Prop Prediction
The Cleveland Cavaliers are 6 point road favorites with a total set at 220.5. The Hornets led by as many as 14 points before blowing the lead to Cleveland on Sunday.
However now the Cavs will be playing without two of their top players in Donovan Mitchell and Jarrett Allen. There will be a ton of extra statistics on the table for Cavalier players and Evan Mobley should take the lions share.
Mobley now has a Points + Rebounds + Assists total set at 36.5 after posting 30 PRA against Charlotte with Mitchell on the court. The Hornets defense can be exposed by bigs as they allow the 4th most points, most rebounds and 9th most assists to opposing centers.
Charlotte will also be without their starting center in Mark Williams, opening the door for Mobley to thrive in the paint. Let’s back Mobleys PRA over tonight in Charlotte.
Player Prop Prediction: Evan Mobley Over 36.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists -115 Draftkings
