AMEDEUS' NBA NON-CONF GAME OF THE MONTH!
(NBA) Houston vs. Cleveland,
Point Spread: -3.50 | -115.00 Cleveland (Home)
Result: Win
The Rockets are coming into this game with a 13-10 record this season but they have been awful on the road as they are 2-9 in those games. They have won 3 of their last 4 games, including 1 of those wins coming on the road, but their 3 wins were also against some of the worst teams in the NBA as they beat the Spurs and the Grizzlies twice in that span. They are coming off of a 9 point loss on the road against the Bucks in their last game and now they are playing this game on a B2B which is also their 3rd game in their last 4 nights. They are going up against a Cavaliers team that is 14-12 this season and they have not been playing well recently but they have also been losing games recently to some of the better teams in the NBA. They have lost 3 of their last 4 games to the Magic and twice to the Celtics who are both top 4 in the Eastern Conference and all 3 of those games were on the road as well. They are going to have some confidence here as they are coming off of an 8 point win at home against the Hawks in their last game and they have been much better there recently as they have won their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 games at home. The Cavaliers had a rough start to the season but now they are fully healthy and playing much better at home, they will be hungry to turn their last win into a winning streak with another home win here against a Rockets team in a bad spot. The Cavaliers will cover the spread in this game.
