The NBA Trade Deadline has come and gone as many teams were extremely active. However, the Cleveland Cavaliers and New Orleans Pelicans were both rather quiet as the only move between the two teams was the Pelicans acquiring Josh Richardson for Devonte’ Graham and four second round picks.
No moves were needed for the Cavaliers who acquired Donovan Mitchell during the off-season, which has paid major dividends. They have a 35-22 record, which ranks fourth in the Eastern Conference and fifth in the league.
The Pelicans are getting back to winning games and climbing up the Western Conference standings again. This tight spread and relatively low total is going to be a great matchup. Which team can stay hot going into the All-Star Break?
Here’s a breakdown at the Cavaliers vs Pelicans odds and matchup, including my betting prediction.
