Cleveland Cavaliers vs Houston Rockets Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA
by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions
The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Houston Rockets face off for the second time in four days on Saturday evening in the NBA. The Cavs sit atop the Eastern Conference standings at 36-8 while the Rockets are second in the West at 29-14. Let’s break down this match and offer a prediction!
After a blistering start to the 2024/25 season, Cleveland is finally starting to show some cracks. They’ve lost four times in their last seven games, including their last two in a row.
They’ll now have to play the second half of a back-to-back following their 134-129 road loss to Philadelphia last night. Both teams couldn’t miss and the Cavs wound up losing despite shooting 48% from deep while getting up 52 three-pointers.
Cleveland has now lost two straight games for only the second time this campaign.
The Rockets will be hoping to produce a similar type of performance to the one that saw them run out 109-108 winners over Cleveland when the two teams played this past Wednesday.
The victory saw Houston bounce back strongly and means that they've now won seven of their last 10 overall.
That result was, however, in the Rocket’s home gym. They’ll now have to travel to Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse where the Cavs have an imposing 21-2 record.

Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Houston Rockets Prediction
This is a definite revenge spot for Cleveland after the heartbreaking way that they lost when these two teams faced off a few days ago. However, the hosts are going through some injury trouble at the moment and could once again be without likely All-Star Evan Mobley.
They’re also playing on no rest which is a major plus for the visiting team. With the Rockets flying high following their win over the Cavs, we believe they can keep this one extremely competitive as well. Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Houston Rockets prediction: Rockets +3.5.
