The Huston Rockets have played "Golden State-like" basketball, when Don Nelson had the Warriors flying up and down the court. The difference is that Houston is talented enough to play it to a winning record. The Rockets lead the league in scoring at over 106 points per game. The Cavaliers have certainly not been a competitive team since LeBron left town, and although they won at lowly Charlotte last night, they will have no rest against a fast-paced, competent opponent who is going to be a tall order to post another win. Go with Houston on the moneyline.
