Cavaliers vs Hornets Game Breakdown & Projections – Wed, Mar 27th 2024

Well, well, well, if it isn’t the Cleveland Cavaliers, sitting pretty with 43 wins under their belt, saddling up to take a swing at the Charlotte Hornets in their own hive, the Spectrum Center. The Cavs, just a few three-pointers shy of the top of the Eastern conference, are looking to sting the Hornets who are, let’s be honest, buzzing around the bottom of the same conference. The bookies are buzzing too, setting the over/under at 206.0, with the Cavs favored to win by a whopping 10.5 points. Now, if you’ve been keeping up, you’d remember the Cavs recently gave the Hornets a bit of a basketball lesson, beating them 115-92. So, the question on everyone’s lips – can the Hornets turn the tide or will the Cavs continue to rule the roost? Remember folks, in this game of b-ball, it’s not always about the size of the hive, but the buzz in the sting!
