The Rockets and Cavaliers take center stage on Tuesday night as they go at it in Cleveland on TNT.
While the Rockets continue to battle for the 8th seed in the West, Cleveland currently sits 1st in the East and is looking to put the finishing wraps on the Raptors, who are currently right behind them.
Houston Rockets
The Rockets have certainly underachieved this season.
However, not making the playoffs would pose as an even bigger issue for them and right now they’re hanging on for dear life.
Houston currently holds a 0.5 game lead on the Mavericks for the 8th spot, but come in off a loss against another Eastern Conference foe in the Indiana Pacers.

Houston does have the benefit of playing a decent schedule down the stretch. They’ll run into 5 straight games against under .500 teams to close the season out. That however, comes after a stretch against these Cavaliers, the Bulls, and the Thunder.
The Rockets will need James Harden to step himself up here. Harden struggled in the last meeting with the Cavaliers, going for just 11 points on 2 of 10 shooting. Houston’s offense just isn’t good enough to overcome any kind of performance like that.
Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavaliers have certainly been at the center of plenty of drama this season.
One place they’ve also been consistently? The top of the Eastern Conference.
Cleveland currently holds a 2.5 game lead on the Raptors and while there is no certainty they hold onto that, they can really put a damper on the Raptors hopes with a couple wins in a row.
Cleveland had one of their worst performances of the year against Brooklyn on Thursday night, but bounced back with a solid performance in the MSG spotlight as Lebron James played like a man on a mission.
They’ll need that kind of Lebron James going forward as this team simply plays at an unreal level with James playing so well.

One key for Cleveland here will be getting waiver acquisition Channing Frye going. Frye has shot just 1 for 14 from 3 point range over the past 3 games. He was signed for that main purpose, along with providing some presence inside. He’s done neither really over that span.

Free Houston Rockets vs. Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Prediction:
It’s so tough to read Cleveland.
It’s almost like this team ends their own momentum they build. After a win like they had inside MSG, look for Cleveland to continue their dominant play here on TNT in front of the national audience behind another big performance from Lebron James.
