The Hornets have struggled after being considered a playoff contender before the season began. After witnessing the National Football League’s Saints win the title for the city, New Orleans’ basketball team has dealt with both off court and on court adversity, including financial problems that have kept the team from putting a more complete roster on the floor. In contrast, the Cavaliers are once again the march madness betting cream of the crop in the association this season. However, the goal is still the same this year as it was last, and Cleveland basketball fans will not be satisfied until a sports championship is finally brought to their beloved city.

Cleveland Cavaliers @ New Orleans Hornets

Wednesday March 23, 2010 – 8PM ET

Sportsbook Reviews Odds: Cavaliers -400

The Cavaliers own the best record in basketball once again, a 56-15 that has them three and a half games ahead of the Los Angeles Lakers for the best record in the association. Although it is not a championship title, it will be an important key to securing one if Cleveland can secure home court advantage throughout the playoffs and in the NBA Finals should they get that far. Whether it is at home or on the road, against division or conference rivals or out west where they own a 21-6 mark against out of conference teams, the Cavaliers have been absolutely dominant this season, and now bring with them a seven-game winning streak to the city of New Orleans.

The Hornets can only envy the success of the NBA’s sportsbook best. After making strides a season ago, and with one of the best young players in the game today in point guard Chris Paul, New Orleans was expected to contend for a postseason spot this year. However, the Hornets learned very quickly that in a deep Western conference, where the top teams have at least two or even three or four star players, you need a lot more than one great star to contend. The Hornets remain a respectable 22-12 on home court this season, so the fans can find solace in something, and while they won’t beat the Cavaliers, it will give the home crowd an opportunity to appreciate mega star Lebron James, and a chance to see how far they are from being a contender.

NBA Betting Lines Over/Under: 188

Despite being the best team in the association, and boasting a plethora of offensive options including arguably the best player in the sport Lebron James, the Cavaliers are not ranked in the top-five in scoring. Cleveland ranks ninth in scoring, and on several occasions has used its incredible defense to shut down opponents, and that could be the case here against a Hornets team that ranks 17^th in average scoring. If you are tired of betting on the March Madness odds, this is the perfect chance to make some money.
