Betting on the Houston Rockets
- Regular Season Record: 18-55
The Rockets will enter this matchup following a string of two consecutive games at the Memphis Grizzlies’ home, and in the midst of a five-game road trip. Although they have had their good moments recently, the Rockets are on another losing streak, losing in their last four games played.
In fact, the team is currently sitting in last place in the Western Conference, just one game behind the San Antonio Spurs. Still, the Rockets hope to avoid finishing the campaign at the bottom of the standings. However, this away trip does not present them with the best scenario for doing so, given that the team has won just six of the 35 games it has played away so far this campaign.
That record goes hand in hand with their performance away from home, as the Texans average 110.4 points scored per game on the road, and their defense is one of the worst with an average of 121.7 points allowed per game.
Betting on the Cleveland Cavaliers
- Regular Season Record: 47-28
Unlike the home team, the Cavaliers arrive to this game after taking advantage of two away games against the Brooklyn Nets. The team managed to win both games and start a short three-game winning streak, which has helped them secure fourth place in the Eastern Conference, and remain just 3.5 games behind the Philadelphia 76ers, which are in third place.
The last of these victories came against Brooklyn on March 23, in a game that was very closely contested until the end, but in which they managed to win by a score of 116-114 thanks to Donovan Mitchell, who contributed with 31 points, and a collective effort in which up to six of their players scored at least 11 points.
The Cavaliers have been able to rely on Mitchell and Darius Garland, who are playing at a very good offensive level. These players are averaging only 112.2 points scored per game, something that has been more than enough thanks to a defense that is the best in the league, with an average of 106.7 points allowed per game, and that has limited its opponents to 46.8% shooting accuracy from the field.
JefeBet Prediction
The Rockets’ troubles away from home look set to continue in this Rockets vs Cavaliers clash, considering the Cavaliers are one of the NBA’s best teams playing at home, boasting a 28-7 home record and a stellar average of 104.6 points allowed per game.
Also, although they are not the best on offense, they will have a good chance to have a productive night, considering the Rockets’ big defensive problems.
Playing at home and facing a very limited team like Houston, it is expected the Cavaliers will be able to dominate the pace of the game from the very start, taking advantage of their opponent’s weaknesses on both sides of the court to win comfortably.
Prediction: Cleveland Cavaliers Spread (HOU 109-123).
