The Houston Rockets and the Cleveland Cavaliers are set to battle it out at Toyota Center in an NBA cross-conference clash. This is the second meeting between these two sides, with the Rockets winning 114-104 on the road. Can they make it two out of two wins? Let's find out in the match prediction!
After 28 games in the NBA regular season, the Houston Rockets find themselves occupying sixth place in the Western Conference standings. During this period, the team won 18 and lost ten. Ten of those wins have been recorded on the road.
Last time out, Ime Udoka's men wrapped their final match of a six-game road trip in comfortable fashion. They beat the Los Angeles Lakers 119-96. That result marked just their second win (L4).
This time, the Rockets have the advantage of playing at home. It has been a great display with the team winning their last three matches. In fact, they have won eight of their previous nine games at Toyota Center.
The Cleveland Cavaliers, on the other hand, occupy seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings.
In their recent match, they couldn't match the New York Knicks stride for stride, succumbing to a narrow 124-126 road defeat. That result ended a two-game winning streak.
The Cavaliers' recent form has raised serious questions, with the team losing four of its last six matches.

Our Houston Rockets vs Cleveland Cavaliers Prediction
The Rockets will breathe a sigh of relief, having wrapped up their six-game road trip that was the reason behind their poor performance. The Rockets are at home, and their impressive run at Toyota Center can not be ignored, having won three consecutive matches.
The Cavaliers are struggling on the road and are likely to suffer another setback. Their opponents have the third-best offensive record in the league and rank second in three-point range. With all of those factors in mind, it's without a doubt that the home team will win and cover. Our Houston Rockets vs Cleveland Cavaliers prediction: Houston Rockets -2.5.
