Prop Bets: Charlotte Hornets VS Cleveland Cavaliers 2025-12-14

"Cavaliers Stomp Hornets: A Lopsided Romp with Side Dishes of Prop Bets"

The Cleveland Cavaliers (15-11) are about to make the Charlotte Hornets (7-18) feel like they’ve been hit by a freight train. With an 85.3% implied win probability and a -10.5 spread, the Cavs are the NBA’s version of a walking money machine. The Hornets? They’re the “I forgot to study” excuse on a pop quiz.

Key Stats to Savor:
- Donovan Mitchell is the main course, averaging 31.3 PPG. His 29.5-point prop is a total lock (over).
- Miles Bridges (21.4 PPG) is also a safe bet to eclipse his 22.5-point line.
- Kon Knueppel (18.5 PPG) is quietly cooking with 18.5 points, and the over is your friend here.
- Darius Garland’s 6.5-assist line? Over. Just over. Always over.

Prop Bets to Gamble on Like Your Job Depends on It:
- Mitchell’s triple-double prop (35.5 points+rebounds+assists): He’s had 48 points last game; this is a surefire over.
- Bridges’ double-double: He’s a machine, but the 22.5-point line is his personal kryptonite. Go over.
- Over 234.5 total points: These teams average 233.7 PPG combined. The over is like ordering pizza—always the right choice.

Injury Report (Spoiler: It’s Not Good for the Hornets):
- Cavs have Jarrett Allen (probable) and a few others out, but Charlotte’s Tidjane Salaun (questionable) is the only injury that might matter. Don’t count on it.

Final Verdict:
The Cavaliers are the NBA’s version of a “you had to be there” meme—unstoppable and unbothered. The Hornets? They’re the “why is this taking so long?” moment in a game of chess. Lay the points, take the over, and laugh all the way to the bank.

Prediction: Cleveland 128, Charlotte 107. And yes, it’s that obvious.
