How to Watch Cavaliers at Hornets: Stream NBA Live, TV Channel

The Cleveland Cavaliers go for their 13th straight win while the Charlotte Hornets try to avoid losing nine in a row on Friday.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Charlotte Hornets face off for the first game in the league on Friday night. This is about as big of a mismatch the Hornets could have drawn for a home game. The Cavaliers have the best record in the league and are the hottest, winning 12 games in a row. Cleveland goes for the four-game series sweep in the season finale tonight and will be the overwhelming favorite as it has already surpassed 50 wins on the season. The Hornets, meanwhile, have the second-to-last worst record in the Eastern Conference. Charlotte is in the midst of an eight-game losing streak and doesn’t have much hope of breaking it tonight. That is on top of losing 11 of its last 12 games. Keeping it close will be a win for the Hornets tonight.

A close game is what the Cavs are coming off of beating the Miami Heat on Wednesday, which clinched them a playoff spot already at the beginning of March. Donovan Mitchell led the charge with 26 points. The game didn’t come without some slopiness from the Cavaliers with Mitchell alone turning over the ball twice in the final two minutes in a closer game than expected. That has to be Charlotte’s formula tonight and the Cavs can’t afford to sleep walk through this game to win lucky number 13.

Charlotte’s losing streak continued after a 125-110 loss on Wednesday at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels both scored 29 points in the win, which was a game-high. LaMelo Ball’s night shouldn’t be overshadowed by the loss as he scored 28 points. The Hornets have now tallied up three eight-game losing streaks. Charlotte’s longest this season is 10. The Hornets may be looking ahead to Brooklyn on Saturday to try to avoid matching that season-low.
