Both the Cleveland Cavaliers and New Orleans Pelicans are looking to improve their position in their respective conference. The Cavaliers are currently on a four-game winning streak on top of going 7-3 over their last 10 games. The Pelicans have won three games in a row, but those are their only wins over their last 10 games.
The Cavaliers are one of the league's top defensive teams, allowing just 106.2 points per game (1st in the NBA) while holding teams to just 46.4% from the field (5th in the NBA) and limiting them to just 11.5 threes per game (4th in the NBA). Cleveland's offense has been impressively engaged over their four-game win streak, averaging 119.3 points on 52.9% from the field and 38.8% from deep. The Pelicans have faltered due to injury this season, but they still average 44.4 rebounds per game (9th in the NBA) while holding teams to just 42.1 boards per game (5th in the NBA).
We're taking the Cavaliers in this matchup. New Orleans are a team that are at their strongest when they can find success at the rim. That's where the Cavaliers excel defensively and the Pelicans don't project to have the three-point threat to overcome them.
