Houston at Cleveland

Houston won't be in a good mood after giving up 114 points in a loss at Chicago this week. This is a great Houston defense, #3 in the NBA in points allowed, that simply had a bad night. They are in bounce-back mode against a depleted Cavaliers team. Even with LeBron, they rank #17 in points scored and #15 in points allowed. Cleveland has been limited to an average of 89.0 points while losing five of six. They are 4-7 against Western Conference foes. The Cavaliers are 3-9 ATS following a loss and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games. The Rockets are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a loss and 11-2 straight-up away from home. The Rockets are also 13-6 ATS in the last 19 meetings and hold all the cards tonight. Play Houston.
