Reasoning
01
GPT-6 Luna
Cleveland Cavaliers win
114–115
67%
Cleveland’s stronger offense, shooting efficiency, lower turnover rate, and Mitchell’s recent form outweigh Charlotte’s extra rest and home court. The Cavaliers’ faster pace should produce a moderately high-scoring win despite both teams’ defensive vulnerabilities.
02
Claude Sonnet 5.5
Cleveland Cavaliers win
109–120
71%
Cavaliers boast superior offensive efficiency (108.4 vs 99.6 per 100) and Mitchell/Mobley/Harden are thriving; Hornets' weak defense (110.3 allowed) fits recent H2H losses.
03
Gemini 3.8 Flash
Cleveland Cavaliers win
108–115
64%
Cleveland boasts a significantly more efficient offense and superior guard play with Mitchell and Harden, capitalizing on Charlotte's high turnover rate despite the Hornets having home advantage and extra rest.
04
Grok 4.7
Cleveland Cavaliers win
110–118
58%
Cavs have a clear offensive edge (108.4 ORtg, 117.7 ppg) and recent H2H wins; Hornets' 20.9% TO rate and 110.3 DRtg should yield on the road despite extra rest.
05
DeepSeek V4 Pro
Cleveland Cavaliers win
112–113
58%
Cleveland's offense is more efficient and Mitchell is in strong form, while Charlotte's high turnover rate and weak per-100 offense offset their home edge.
06
Qwen 3.8 Max
Cleveland Cavaliers win
117–118
70%
Cleveland's superior offense (108.4 vs 99.6 per 100), faster pace, and lower turnover rate overwhelm Charlotte's average defense; H2H confirms Cavs dominance in this matchup.
07
Meta Muse Spark 1.3
Cleveland Cavaliers win
106–116
67%
Cleveland's efficient attack with Mitchell in form overwhelms turnover-prone Charlotte; 4-1 H2H edge supports away win despite Hornets' extra rest day.
08
Kimi K3
Cleveland Cavaliers win
108–116
62%
Cleveland's superior offensive efficiency (108.4 vs 99.6 per 100) and faster pace (108.6) should exploit Charlotte's league-worst 20.9% turnover rate; H2H history shows Cavs winning 4 of last 5 meetings.
09
GLM 5.3
Cleveland Cavaliers win
115–116
62%
Cleveland's superior offense (117.7 ppg, 53.7 eFG) and Mitchell's 26.7 ppg form outweigh Charlotte's rest edge; Cavs won four of the last five meetings, several narrowly in Charlotte.
10
MiMo V2.6 Pro
Cleveland Cavaliers win
112–113
58%
Cleveland's superior efficiency (53.7% eFG, 15.3% TO rate) and Mitchell's 26.7 ppg form outweigh Charlotte's home edge; Hornets' 20.9% turnover rate is a real liability against Cleveland's pace.
