Basketball Betting Lines

02/27/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Cleveland Cavaliers try and stop a two-game losing streak this evening when they host the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets at Quicken Loans Arena.

The Cavs have dropped two in a row after a two-game winning streak and suffered an 86-81 loss to the Miami Heat on Sunday at AmericanAirlines Arena. LeBron James finished with 29 points and seven assists and Larry Hughes scored 14 points for Cleveland, which fell to 4 1/2 games off the lead in the Central Division.

Cleveland is back at home where it owns a 20-8 record this season. In injury news for the Cavs, guard Sasha Pavlovic (flu-like symptoms) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.

Meanwhile, New Orleans/Oklahoma City has won two straight and six of its last eight games, including Friday's 98-97 victory over the Seattle SuperSonics at New Orleans Arena.

David West posted 23 points and 11 rebounds, while Bobby Jackson scored 17 points for the Hornets, who are battling with the Los Angeles Clippers for the eighth and final playoff spot in the West.

Tyson Chandler posted 15 points and 19 boards, and Chris Paul notched 13 points and eight assists in the win over Seattle.

The Hornets, who are 20 games off the lead in the Southwest standings, are 9-18 as the visitor this season.

Tuesday's showdown between the Cavs and Hornets is the second and final meeting of the regular season. New Orleans/Oklahoma City won the first meeting, 95-89, on December 11 at the Ford Center.

Cleveland has won seven of the last eight meetings, while the Hornets have dropped five straight after winning their last two at the Cavaliers.
