Houston Rockets vs Cleveland Cavaliers: prediction for the NBA match
In this campaign the rivals played only one game, which took place at the home of the Cavaliers. The hosts showed a master class in attack, throwing 124 points. However, Houston still issued a victory in 2021, but it took place in the previous season.
Houston Rockets
The Jazzmen were hit hard by injuries to two key players. Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell play an important role in the team, however, the first is still in the infirmary and the second is close to returning to the floor. Utah lost five games in a row, that is, they drove themselves into a difficult situation. The club stayed on the fourth line of the Western Conference, that is, not all is lost. The Jazz lost in the last meeting to Minnesota (106-126), but sooner or later the black streak must end.
Cleveland Cavaliers
A few days ago the Clevelands misfired. Wards of Bickerstaff unexpectedly lost to Detroit (105:115), but very quickly they managed to rectify the situation. In the next match the Cavs defeated New Orleans (93:90). It is worth noting that the cavalrymen have won 8 of the last 10 matches. They began to use the defensive model of the game again. This has been successful for them so far. In the Eastern Conference standings Cleveland is in fourth place.
Prediction
In December Cleveland thrashed Houston at home by 35 points. It is unlikely that anything will change significantly now. Even without Darius Garland, who was injured, the "cavalrymen" should win. After all, there are enough qualified players in their squad. Our prediction is the victory of Cleveland, taking into account the handicap (-2) points for odds of 1.88 in 1xBet bookmaker.
