Cleveland Cavaliers VS Charlotte Hornets

4:30 a.m. Beijing time on December 15, 2025, in the NBA regular season, the Cleveland Cavaliers will host the Charlotte Hornets. This analysis will focus on the Over/Under market, with under 236.5 points and odds of 0.91 for both home and away.

The Cleveland Cavaliers' recent record shows a solid defensive system, strong rhythm control, and many games limit opponents' scoring to a low level, which is conducive to the small point trend. The Charlotte Hornets' offensive efficiency has fluctuated recently, with insufficient scoring consistency on the road and loopholes on the defensive end, but the overall pace of the game has not accelerated significantly. The small points in their recent matches are worth paying attention to.

Looking back at the past head-to-head records of the two teams, the style of play is usually more intense, but the total score fluctuates greatly. However, there have been several times when certain defensive intensity has increased or key players have been absent, and the total score has been played lower than the current handicap. In recent meetings at home in Cleveland, the total score has not been significantly high.

are less than 236.5 points for the over/under market, and the odds of home and away wins are 0.91, which shows that the initial view of the institution is that the probability of the total score exceeding or falling below this limit is very close, and the handicap setting is in a balanced position, slightly inclined to small points but the advantage is not obvious, and the market expects that it may be a game with a controllable rhythm and high defensive participation.

, the Cavaliers' home defensive strength and tempo control are the core factors, and the Hornets' away offensive stability is questionable. While historical head-to-head meetings have sometimes had higher totals, the total score in this game is more likely to be below 236.5 based on the characteristics of the games that both teams have shown recently, the current market depth and the balanced odds. Prediction direction: small score.
