Such exorbitant but attractive odds around +5000 are what the bookies would pay if you were to bet right now that the Rockets win the NBA championship this season. On Saturday, they will face a tremendous challenge and a test of what they are made of when they face the third favorite to win it all, Donovan Mitchell's Cavaliers in what will be the most attractive matchup of the day between 1st in the Eastern Conference against 2nd in the Western Conference.

No team has been more dominant this season at home than the Cavaliers who before playing Friday against the 76ers, on Monday added their 21st victory of the season at Rocket Mortgage Field. On Saturday they will return to the court on consecutive nights against the Rockets after this same matchup took place in Houston on Wednesday with the Rockets winning at the Toyota Center over the Cavaliers 108-109 with Segun making a few free throws at the end to seal the victory.

The Cavs-Rockets game on Wednesday was very close in the betting, with the Rockets leading by just 0.5 points before the game. The bookies' assessment was accurate, as the home team won by one point.

Our Cleveland Cavaliers vs Houston Rockets Prediction

Saturday's game will be an immediate rematch of the game during the week, the Cavaliers are the best home team in the NBA while the Rockets are the 4th best away team with a record of 14-6. While the Cavs will travel to Philadelphia on Friday to face the Sixers, the Rockets will rest and with rest advantage this season they have a pretty solid record of 7-2. It's unwise to bet against the Cavaliers in Cleveland, and a physical game with nearly 40 personal fouls, like the one on Wednesday, is likely to be repeated on Saturday. Our prediction for Cavaliers vs Rockets is: Under 227.5.
