Hornets Face Cavaliers Amid Injury Concerns

LaMelo Ball is set to lead the Charlotte Hornets against the Cleveland Cavaliers on November 19, 2024, but his availability is uncertain due to a left index sprain. The Hornets have struggled early in the season, currently holding a 5-8 record, while the undefeated Cavaliers aim to extend their 14-game winning streak. Both teams face injury concerns, with the Hornets also potentially missing Miles Bridges and Tre Mann. The Cavaliers, despite resting star guard Donovan Mitchell, have been firing on all cylinders, bolstered by impressive performances from Darius Garland and Evan Mobley. The matchup promises to be tightly contested, with oddsmakers slightly favoring the Cavaliers. A win for the Hornets would bring them closer to a .500 record, while the Cavaliers look to maintain their perfect start.
