Stephen Nover's NBA Game of the Week
(NBA) Houston vs. Cleveland,
Point Spread: -10.00 | -110.00 Houston (Away)
Result: Loss
No brilliant insight here. I just want the Rockets off a loss and the Cavaliers off a victory after both teams played last night.

The Rockets lost 116-111 in overtime to the Pistons while the Cavaliers stunned the 76ers, 121-112, on the road. Aside from underrated center, Clint Capela, the Rockets didn't play well, while Cleveland played perhaps its finest game of the season.

I'm projecting the Rockets to play much better and the Cavaliers to get back to playing at their level, which is being one of the worst teams in the NBA.

After a slow start, the Rockets have gotten back on track. They are 8-3 in their last 11 games. They followed up their previous loss - a 96-89 defeat to the Spurs - by blowing out the Pacers 115-103 in the following game The Rockets have won by 10 or more points during three of their last four victories.

Cleveland's previous victory came four games ago when it upset Charlotte, 113-89. The Cavaliers had to play the very next day and were blown out by the Wizards, 119-95.

The Rockets have dominated this series even when the Cavaliers had Lebron James winning 10 of the last 12 meetings.
