Point Spread: -7.00 | -110.00 Cavaliers (CLE) (Away)
Result: Win
Cleveland has been hot to start the season, posting an 8-0 mark, including 4-0 on the road this season. They just swept a home-and-home set with the Bucks while also owning wins over the Knicks and Lakers in the early going this season. New Orleans is at home here but they are just 3-5 on the year (2-2 at home), not to mention the injury issues. The Pelicans won't have CJ McCollum (adductor), Dejounte Murray (hand), Herbert Jones (shoulder) or Trey Murphy III (hamstring), while Zion Williamson (thigh) is questionable. Missing one of those guys would be bad enough but having four of them out with the potential of a fifth limited is way too much to ask for a Pelicans' team that has been less than inspiring so far this season. Take Cleveland on the road to run their mark to 9-0.
