Cleveland Cavaliers vs New Orleans Pelicans Prediction: Can the Cavaliers win here in spite of those statistics?

In recent years, Cleveland's games against New Orleans have not gone well - seven losses in eight meetings. Can the Cavaliers win here in spite of those statistics?

The Cavaliers played a road game against the Pelicans and won only two of three. The team beat Phoenix (112:98) and Portland (119:113) but lost to Denver (108:121), Utah (114:116), and Minnesota (102:110). You can't call this a losing streak for Cleveland, but you can't call it successful, either. They sit in fifth place in the Eastern Conference standings with a 27-17 record.

The Pelicans, now without Zion Williamson, who was injured again, started to slip a bit in terms of results and lost five of their last eight games. During that stretch, the team failed all the contentious groups but defeated all outsiders - Washington (132:112), Houston (119:108), and Detroit (116:110) in their last meeting. New Orleans is still very high in third place in the Western Conference with a 27-17 balance.

Cleveland has won 18 of its 22 home games this season. Coming back home after a tough road trip, the Cavs will surely start to confirm their status as a purely home team. New Orleans has been struggling of late, losing to all strong contenders, so it looks like Cleveland has an excellent chance to start winning. Here we bet on the Cavs to win the game with the typical result for almost all Pelicans' games this season.
