Despite the Charlotte Hornets' recent poor form, the given statistics suggest that they have a realistic chance of covering a -5.5 point spread against the Brooklyn Nets. The Hornets' home team score in their last five games (103.6) is reasonably close to the Nets' away team score (117.4), and they have proven their ability to score well on their home court. Furthermore, the Nets' away opponent team score is 113.6, indicating that they tend to let in a substantial number of points when playing away, which could benefit the Hornets. Although their recent head-to-head record is unfavorable, the Hornets have a model predicted edge of 29.6% for this match. In conclusion, the combination of these factors makes this bet a sensible choice.

The bet on Cleveland Cavaliers +2.5 is data-driven due to their recent performance on the road, reflected in a 4-1 Away Record. Despite the Knicks' marginally higher scoring average, the Cavaliers have shown stronger defensive capabilities, with their opponents scoring less (109.6) compared to Knicks' opponents (121.6).
