This is the second meeting this week, and Houston won the first one 109-108 on Wednesday when Alperen Sengun hit two free throws with 4.5 seconds left, and Darius Garland missed two free throws to hand the win to the Rockets. Cleveland looks to avenge that close loss tonight and snap a two-game skid after losing 132-129 at Philadelphia last night. The Cavaliers haven't lost three in a row all season, and they are 6-0 ATS in their past six meetings at home against the Rockets, who have lost six of nine meetings outright. Houston has gone OVER six of nine and Cleveland is 13-5 OVER its past 18 games. The Cavaliers are 9-1 OVER as home favorites of 0.5-4.5 points. Cleveland has won 14 of 16 against the Western Conference and 11 of its 12 home games. Houston is 5-0-1 OVER its past six road games. Take the Cavaliers on the moneyline and the OVER.

These two are facing each other for the first time this season and they went OVER in both meetings last season. Houston has won six of eight, but looks to bounce back from a 107-96 loss to Detroit on Monday. It was understandable as the Rockets had just completed three road games in four days and were perhaps looking ahead to tonight's game. Cleveland has shown a bit of vulnerability recently, losing two of its past five, including two blowout defeats against Indiana and Oklahoma City. The Cavaliers are 4-4 ATS their past eight games and they have lost 13 of their past 16 road games against Houston. The Rockets have won seven Wednesday games in a row and they have gone OVER four of their past five games overall. The Cavaliers have gone OVER eight straight Wednesday games and their past five road games overall. Houston is 6-2 ATS its past eight against the Central Division. Take the Rockets and the OVER.
