LeBron James scored 24 points with 13 assists and 12 rebounds against the Magic while Kyrie Irving added 22 points. Cleveland is only 29-33-2 ATS this season compared to 38-28 for Houston, which has covered four of the last five meetings. The Rockets blew out Chicago 115-94 on Friday as James Harden had 19 points and 13 assists, and his team outscored the Bulls 36-14 in the third quarter. Cleveland is 1-10 ATS its last 11 games at Houston and has covered just one of its last six games on no rest as injuries have taken their toll. Houston has covered four of its last five games overall. The Cavaliers mysteriously are 79-34-3 UNDER their last 116 Sunday games, and seven of the last nine meetings at Houston have gone UNDER. Take the Rockets and the UNDER.
