While Cleveland likely controls the paint, it can’t match Charlotte’s volume shooting on either end of the floor.

Add in Darius Garland’s absence, and momentum from the Hornets huge upset over Denver can overwhelm a tired defense that struggles to close out on shooters late.

The Cavs should find the sledding a bit easier on Wednesday after getting beaten by OKC on Monday. The Hornets are a poor defensive unit, and the Cavs should score enough to secure the road win.

LaMelo Ball has posted 24.0 points per game over the last 5 games, 3.8 more than he's posted in all games this season.. The matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers is a positive one for threes; the opposing team's starting PGs have compiled the 2nd-highest three rate in the NBA this year (41.4%).. The Charlotte Hornets will likely see a rise in possessions in this contest from competing against the 3rd-most up-tempo tempo road team in the NBA over the last 15 games (the Cavaliers).. Offensive rebounds continue possession and lead to extra chances for scoring and assists, and the Hornets rank 3rd-best in in the league with 14.6 offensive boards per game over the last 5 games.

The matchup against Charlotte is a favorable one; when the Charlotte Hornets are on their home court, they have allowed the 6th-most points per game in the NBA to the other team's starting SFs over the last 24 games (16.4).. The Cleveland Cavaliers have played at the 3rd-quickest pace in the league over the last 15 games without the home court advantage.. The Cleveland Cavaliers rank as the 4th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 15 games as the away team (offensive rebounds maintain possession and may therefore lead to additional chances for scoring and assists).. This year, the other team's starting SFs have attempted 4.5 free throws per game (most in the league) against the Charlotte Hornets, succeeding in their efforts to get to the charity stripe.
