Hornets vs Cavaliers NBA Preview
The "Visitor Recent Dogs – Losing Streak" system focuses on NBA regular-season matchups where struggling road underdogs offer hidden value.
Teams on short losing streaks, both straight up and against the spread, often become undervalued by the market as public sentiment turns sharply against them.
These spots tend to produce inflated lines that fail to reflect the small margins separating most NBA teams, especially when the visiting side has already been in the underdog role in consecutive games.
Such teams frequently respond with higher energy and focus after a string of poor performances, particularly on the road, where distractions are limited and motivation is heightened to snap a skid.
This system capitalizes on market overreaction to recent losses, identifying edges where perception diverges from reality and resilient road teams quietly bounce back to outperform expectations.
