Charlotte Hornets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction & Picks, November 9, 2026

At Spectrum Center, the Charlotte Hornets are up against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Royce O'Neale has been a solid contributor, but both teams have shown strong defensive skills lately. The Hornets have allowed a lot of three-point attempts and rebounds, which means they can be vulnerable. However, Cleveland is also not giving up too many rebounds, so it could be tougher for O'Neale to rack up points and boards. O'Neale's chances of hitting over 12.5 combined points and rebounds look decent, but there's a real risk here since both teams can play tough defense. With the way these two squads match up, this could be a close call.

Charlotte Hornets vs Cleveland Cavaliers: Grayson Allen Under 17.5 Pts + Asts (+120)

The Charlotte Hornets struggle to defend against three-point shots and give up a lot of rebounds, which could make it tough for Grayson Allen to shine in this matchup. With the Hornets allowing opponents to shoot nearly 37 threes a game and grab 45 boards, Allen might not get the chances he needs to rack up points and assists. Betting on Allen to score under 17.5 points and assists feels like a smart move here. The Cavaliers usually keep tight defense and may limit his opportunities. It's worth noting that Allen could have a good game, but the matchup suggests he might not hit that mark today.

Charlotte Hornets vs Cleveland Cavaliers: Grayson Allen Under 17.5 Pts + Rebs (+120)

The Charlotte Hornets give up a lot of rebounds and three-point attempts, which could make it tricky for Grayson Allen to find his rhythm. The Hornets have allowed opponents to grab nearly 45 boards per game, making it tough for any shooter to consistently score and rebound effectively. Betting on Allen to get under 17.5 points and rebounds seems like a solid choice, especially since the Cavaliers also limit three-point shots well. The most concrete risk here is that Allen could have a hot shooting night, which happens. However, with the Hornets' struggles on defense, this bet has a good chance to pay off.
