Cleveland at Houston

The Cavaliers are on an 8-3 SU/ATS run and have won 4 in a row. LeBron James scored 36 points to lead Cleveland to a 94-82 win over the Boston Celtics on Friday night, moving the Cavaliers closer to their first playoff berth in eight years. James added eight assists and seven rebounds. The Rockets are on a 1-6 SU, 2-5 ATS run without Tracy McGrady. They hosted the Clippers Monday (99-91 loss), then got smacked at Dallas, 88-72, before ending a losing streak with a 93-92 win at slumping New Orleans. Yao Ming is carrying the team, but not getting any help. In fact, the Mavs swarmed all over him and no one else could step up. Houston is 3-19 in games without McGrady. And, Houston is 13-22 SU, 9-26 ATS at home! The Cavs have too much offense for Houston's one-man-gang.
