The Cavs are on the road to finish a long, strange trip tonight against the Charlotte Hornets. Given how they’ve played defense lately (or not as the case may be), they might want to bring some of this with them to the contest. Charlotte is yet another team fighting for it’s playoff life (they’re currently 2.5 games behind the Heat for the 8th spot in the EC), and they’ve won their last three in a row to climb back into contention. The Cavs are coming off a disappointing loss in Denver, and have just a 5-7 record in the month of March. Some good news… Kevin Love has been cleared to play in back to backs now, and the Cavs have also recalled Larry Sanders from Canton for some potential additional help in the paint.

Cavs probable starting lineup: LeBron James, Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, J.R. Smith, Kyrie Irving.

Hornets probable starting lineup: Kemba Walker, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Marvin Williams, Cody Zeller, Nicholas Batum.

Prediction: The Cavs spray the ball around from deep, and get back to their winning ways as they swat some flying pests, 113-109.

Action starts at 7pm EST, and can be seen on Fox Sports Ohio.
