Houston Rockets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
The Houston Rockets will look to continue their rapid ascent when they host the rampaging Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night in the NBA. The Rockets (28-14) are third in the West standings while the Cavaliers (36-6) are sitting atop the East with the league’s best record. Here’s our match prediction!
The Rockets have been excelling in their second season under head coach Ime Udoka after finishing .500 last year. They’re currently trailing leaders OKC by seven games and have a slim half-game lead over the third-place Grizzlies.
Houston comes into this contest off the back of a 107-96 home loss to the Pistons, marking their second defeat in their last three outings. It was a disappointing offensive performance for a team that had previously been averaging an impressive 124.7 points per game in their seven prior games.
The Cavaliers will hope to take advantage of their opponents’ slight downturn in form. Cleveland’s .857 winning percentage is the best in the NBA and they come into this matchup riding a two-game winning streak.
Cleveland’s last appearance saw them shut down the Suns en route to a 118-92 victory, even without the services of one of their best defensive players in Evan Mobley.
Mobley, who is likely going to earn an NBA All-Star nod, will miss out again here as he recovers from a calf injury.

Our Houston Rockets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
Mobley will be a big miss on both sides of the ball but the Cavs are running like a well-oiled machine at the moment. They’re the team with the superior momentum coming into this contest and they’ve been lethal when playing on the road.
The Rockets, who boast one of the league’s best defenses, will have a big test on their hands as they welcome arguably the league's best offense. Cleveland is the better team and should be able to walk away with their third straight win. Our Houston Rockets vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction: Cavaliers -2.
