Against The Spread Pick – Houston Rockets at Cleveland Cavaliers

7:05PM EST

Opening Line: Rockets -10.5 and 228.5
Current Line: Rockets -11 and 228.5

Whew boy, the Cavs are in over their head here. Their talent deficiency has come to a head over the course of their seven game losing streak and additionally losing 13 of the last 14. They are second last in the league in both offensive and defensive efficiency and simply do not have the offensive firepower to keep up with the Rockets. The Rockets are going to literally put the pace on them, as Houston is the fastest pace in the league and the Cavs are in the bottom seven. The Cavs have not scored more than 94 in four straight games while the Rockets haven’t been under 115 in their last eight. Too much offense and pace for the Rockets as this one gets out of hand.  I truly envision this one being so far out of hand that the ends of the benches are in by the middle of the fourth quarter. Take Houston to role all over the Cavs.
