Orlando is 1-8 SU and ATS in its past nine road games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>How&#8217;s this for a welcome back after the break? After facing Luka Doncic, LeBron James and the Lakers in Wednesday&#8217;s standalone matchup, the Hornets have a back-to-back against the Nuggets. Denver surged into the all-star break on an NBA-high win streak (eight games).<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cleveland has the highest over rate in the NBA (36-18-0, 66.7%), per Team Rankings.
