Premium Pick

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.
