Bet on Cavaliers vs. Rockets

Houston has played extremely good basketball much of the time Chris Paul has been out with injury and the blowout win over the Jazz hit on everything that has been going well. Harden was outstanding and the supporting cast did their roles. Against a Cavs team that still doesn't seem to be heading in the right direction, the smart play here is on the Rockets.
