Top NBA picks for Friday, Feb. 20
After simulating every game 10,000 times, the model is backing the Cleveland Cavaliers (-6.5) to cover the spread against the Charlotte Hornets at 7 p.m. ET. The Cavaliers have won two of the previous three meetings with the Hornets and look to secure the season series with a win. Cleveland will be without Max Strus (foot), while Charlotte won’t have Miles Bridges (suspension) or Moussa Diabate (suspension). The Cavaliers have covered in each of their last three games, while the Hornets have covered in their last two.
Veteran guard Donovan Mitchell powers the Cleveland offense. In 52 games, all starts, he is averaging 28.8 points, 5.9 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 33.4 minutes. In his last game before the All-Star Game, he poured in 30 points, while adding five assists and three boards in a 138-113 win over the Washington Wizards on Feb. 11. He is averaging 27.9 points and 6.6 assists over his last 10 games.
The model is projecting four Cavaliers players to score 14.5 points or more, led by Mitchell’s 26.2 points. The Hornets, meanwhile, are projected to be led by Brandon Miller’s 23 points as five Hornets players score 10.9 points or more. The model is backing Cleveland to cover well over 60% of the time.
