Houston Rockets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Preview

Despite coming into this game after victory last time out over the Milwaukee Bucks, few can disagree that all is not well in the Cleveland Cavaliers camp right now. Six losses in their opening eleven games is not disastrous and the Cavs will still quite comfortably make the play-offs, but they need to start playing with consistency which is why now is a bad time to play the Houston Rockets. The second favourites for the Western Conference title among many of the NBA odds, the Rockets come into this match bang on form with three wins from three. It seems it will get worse before it gets better for LeBron James and co.

Houston Rockets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction

We do not want to come across as if we are giving the Cavaliers a hard time but unfortunately, we are. You cannot win every game but just two in a row would be nice for Cleveland. That looks an unlikely scenario in this one as the Rockets are too professional an outfit, especially with home advantage. The latest NBA odds firmly support Houston and we cannot see anything in the Cleveland side right now to disagree.

Houston Rockets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Betting Tips

With home advantage, superior form, and confidence higher than a ‘ahem’ Rocket, Asian sportsbook Dafabet’s price on a Houston win looks almost as good as money in the bank. That is not to say it is all doom and gloom for the Cavaliers, they will come good at some point this season but now is not the time to be playing one of the best sides in the NBA away from home. Cleveland did beat their opponents in the NBA summer league but since then things have dramatically changed. Whilst Houston are chasing the Western Conference title, the Cavs know that their hopes of capturing the Eastern Conference are almost all but gone despite being many people’s NBA betting tips to win the division. A routine narrow win is the only way we can see this one going as the Cavs know they have plenty of improvement and work to do this season.

With 86 bets available on this game, it is clear that Unibet will have you well covered in all aspects of the betting spectrum for this game. However, we did find value a little hard to come by across the board but found some in the over market. Over 220.5 may seem like a lot but the two sides have been hitting the big points of late. In their last game, Houston netted 137 points with the Cavaliers netting 124. The game before that, the Rockets hit 119 and Cleveland 115. In fact, neither side has failed to hit comfortably over 100 points in a game in the month of November and as you can read in our best NBA betting previews, that is quite a unique feat. Both sides are high scorers but the Cavaliers have also been weak at the back meaning 221 points in the game looks a very smart way to go.
