Prior to this matchup, both of these teams had experienced some streaky performance. They have also followed very similar paths this season, as both teams have excelled at defending their home court while falling to below.500 when playing the host team. It is challenging to back the visitors in this one given the injuries to the Pelicans' two most important players and the fact that the Cavaliers are playing at home for the first time in the past five games. Take Cleveland to turn things around and cover the spread. Prediction for the Cleveland Cavaliers vs. New Orleans Pelicans matchup: Cavaliers -6.5 betting odds
