Houston Rockets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Analysis
Houston is coming off one of its once-every-two-weeks victories, this time a 119-114 win over Minnesota, thanks to a career-high 42 points from Jalen Green.
That win snapped a 13-game Rocket losing streak, during which time the Rockets were dead last in the league in net rating differential, and note Houston is 13-22 against the number this season in the game immediately following a straight up loss.
Houston Rockets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
That contrasts sharply with Cleveland’s ability to bounce back, as the Cavaliers, who are off a 105-103 loss at New York on Tuesday, have an 11-7 spread mark after a straight-up loss.
The majority of Cleveland’s covers this season have come at home but note Cavaliers starting backcourt producing 50 ppg on the season and over the past 15 outings by Cleveland that production is up and the team is shooting more than 49% in that period.
Power forward Evan Mobley has scored 16 ppg, taken 8.2 rpg and shot 57% over his last 13 games, and pliable Houston defense (allowed 122 pts. per opponents’ 100 possessions in going 1-9 straight-up in its last 10 games) will pad Cleveland offensive numbers.
Prediction: Cleveland Cavaliers -8.5 / Over 221
