The Charlotte Hornets are running out of time, but are still in the playoff hunt and will try extend their three-game winning streak when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night at Spectrum Center. Cleveland is in a tight race itself atop the Eastern Conference with hard charging Boston just a game behind them for the No. 1 seed after a stunning 126-113 loss at Denver on Wednesday. Cleveland finally got its full roster healthy in Denver with shooting guard Kyle Korver (foot) returning from a seven-game absence. The team will try and work their way back together as a unit during the last few weeks of the season and be ready for another title run. The defense was not at its best as the Nuggets shot 53.1% from the field but Korver knocked down three 3-pointers in 19 minutes off the bench and Kevin Love put in 22 solid minutes in his third game back from a knee injury. Point guard Kyrie Irving has averaged 39.5 points in the last two games after sitting out Saturday against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Cavs will play the Celtics one more time this season – April 5th in Boston.

The Hornets are getting hot but have just 11 games to play and will play 10 of those games against teams competing for postseason spots as they try to chase down eighth-place Miami. Charlotte is currently 2.5 games behind the Heat, but the Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons are in front of them as well. The Hornets will play their next three at home before closing with five of eight on the road, including trips to Toronto, Oklahoma City and Washington. Charlotte came back to beat Orlando 109-102 on Wednesday behind reserve center Frank Kaminsky, who scored 13 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter on 4-of-4 shooting. Kaminsky is averaging 16.5 points over the last four games and hit 7-of-13 from 3-point range in the last two. Center Cody Zeller is 19-of-26 from the floor during the three-game winning streak, while All-Star Kemba Walker has scored below his 22.7 points a game average in five straight contests.

The Cavaliers have won the first three meetings this season by an average of ten points. I know this is a tempting line that looks like a trap, but I’m going to bite. The public will be all over Cleveland in this one and I have to agree. The Cavs roll here tonight.
