Cleveland Cavaliers vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Devesh Jaganath | in NBA Predictions
The Cleveland Cavaliers will play host to the New Orleans Pelicans at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in the NBA on Thursday morning. The Cavs (15-1) are leading the Eastern Conference, while the Pels (4-11) are 14th in the West. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Cleveland Cavaliers will be hoping to bounce back to winning ways here after conceding their first defeat of the season 120-117 to the Celtics on the road last night.
Donovan Mitchell led the charge with 35 points, helping the team trim a 21-point deficit to just two points before the Celts pushed on in the final few moments to get the win.
The Cavaliers are still the highest-scoring team in the NBA this season, putting up 123.3 points per game, but they are now 13th on the defensive end, allowing 111.9 PPG.
Meanwhile, the short-handed New Orleans Pelicans have been finding it tough lately and lost their 11th match in their last 13 last night when they were hammered 132-91 by the Mavericks.
Trey Murphy scored 19 points and Brandon Ingram added 17, but as a team, New Orleans shot just 39% from the field and allowed a massive 44 points in the first quarter alone.
The Pelicans are a bottom-10 side at both ends this season, second-last in points scored (103.7 PPG) and 21st overall in points against (114.5 PPG).

Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction
There are a few concerns about the Cavaliers' chances of covering this hefty line, given that they are entering this match after an energy-sapping outing against the Celtics last night.
However, the Pelicans are also on the end of a back-to-back and they’re already a depleted squad with the majority of their starters currently sidelined. The visitors lost by a whopping 41 points yesterday and we feel they could be in for another big loss in this one. Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs New Orleans Pelicans prediction: Cleveland Cavaliers -12.5!
