The Charlotte Hornets are all set to lock horns against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, March 7 at the Spectrum Center. The big question for the Hornets remain whether their star player LaMelo Ball will feature against the Cavaliers.
Will LaMelo Ball play against the Cleveland Cavaliers?
LaMelo Ball is listed as probable due to illness. Thus, his availability for the clash against the Cavaliers remain uncertain. Hornets have a concerning record of 14-47 and have a long list of players on the injury list.
Players such as Brandon Miller, Tre Mann and Grant Williams are out for the season. Mark Williams and Josh Okogie are also sidelined. It will be a long list of absentees for the Hornets and Ball's absence would make it worse.
Ball has averaged 26.2 points per game in a rather challenging season for the team. His ability to create plays and knock down three pointers (averaging 3.9 per game) has been crucial. If Ball misses the clash then Hornets chances take a dip against a strong Cavaliers, who boast a 52-10 record.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have full roster at their disposal. Donovan Mitchell is in red hot form as he averages 24.4 points per game. The Cavaliers lead the NBA in scoring (123.1 points per game) and three-point shooting (39.3%). They are the favorites while going into the clash against the Hornets.
Miles Bridges have stepped up lately for the Hornets as he averages 22.6 points and 8.4 rebounds in the last 20 matches. However, with Ball being uncertain for the match, the Hornets will find it difficult against the defence of Cavaliers.
