This is a really goofy scheduling spot for the Cavs. Cleveland is coming off a five-game road trip, and now they are playing an unusually early game on Monday. After this the Cavs will hit the road to face the Grizzlies before returning home to face the Warriors and Bucks.
Cleveland is 5-16 ATS in their last 21 home games following a road trip of seven or more days and have failed to cover in their previous five games against a winning team.
The Pelicans won't be traveling from far after facing the Pistons on Friday. New Orleans is also 6-2 ATS in their last eight meetings against Cleveland.
