The Cleveland Cavaliers and Charlotte Hornets square off in Las Vegas Summer League action on Wednesday. The Cavaliers enter this contest following an 84-76 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Sunday where only three Cleveland players reached double-digit point totals.

Meanwhile, the Hornets have some momentum after a thrilling 89-86 double overtime win over the Los Angeles Lakers that same day. Several Charlotte players stepped up, including Ty-Shon Alexander, who had a team-high 22 points in 30 minutes played off the bench.

Cavaliers vs Hornets Prediction & Pick

If Charlotte wants to win its second game in a row, their starters need to shoot better from range. Their starting lineup shot 3-for-13 (23.1%) from three-point range against the Lakers, relying on the bench players to bail them out. That won't cut it on most nights.

It won't be easy because even though the Cavaliers lost to the Nuggets, they held Denver to 28.1% three-point shooting. Things appear even grimmer for Charlotte once you consider that the Lakers' Summer League roster is far from the strongest.

I'm expecting the Cavaliers to have a bounce-back performance and walk out of this game with the victory. As for the best bet, take Cleveland on the moneyline at +124.
