Bet On NBA Basketball - Cleveland Cavaliers at Houston Rockets
BetUS: Despite
LeBron James’ recent cries
for roster help, mostly in the form of Jason
Kidd, the Cleveland Cavaliers, (27-20 SU,
22-25 ATS, 24-22-1 O/U), have succeeded,
winning eight of their last ten and two straight
coming into tonight’s matchup against
the Houston Rockets, (28-20 SU, 24-23-1 ATS,
20-27-1 O/U) who have also won eight of their
last ten and four straight.
The Cavaliers have won two straight coming
into this game, including a close 114-113
win over the Boston Celtics and have covered
the spread in seven of their last ten.
The Rockets beat the Minnesota Timberwolves
92-86 on Monday but are just 5-5 against
the spread in their last ten games. Since
the beginning of the New Year, the Cavaliers
are a league-leading 13-3 while Houston has
nearly kept pace with a solid 13-4 record.
Here is a
look at tonight’s key trends,
followed by my NBA Betting Free Picks:
The Cavaliers are 6-0 ATS in their last
six after allowing 100 points or more in
their previous game.
The Cavaliers are 5-1 ATS in their last
six road games.
The Rockets are 6-1 ATS in their last seven
games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
The Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last five
games as a home favorite of 5.0-10.5.
The Under is 4-0 in Cavaliers last four
vs. a team with a winning S.U. record.
The Under is 5-1 in Rockets last six vs.
a team with a winning S.U. record.
The Under is 6-1 in the last seven meetings.
The Home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five
meetings.
Analysis: The
Cavaliers – and particularly
LeBron James – have made a habit of
keeping games close and I don’t think
this matchup is going to be any different.
Take the Cavs and James to keep another game
close – and possibly win outright.
