This is a 10* NON-CONFERENCE TOTAL OF THE MONTH on the OVER between the Houston Rockets and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
With just a handful of games left to play, the Cavs are sitting right where they wanted to be before the season started, inching their way towards securing the Eastern Conference's top seed. Houston on the other hand is looking to catch fire to end the season and to secure one of the final playoff spots in the West. These are two teams with lots to play for and we're expecting this tremendous sense of competition to translate into production on the court. The Cavs won't have LeBron James in the line-up, but that doesn't matter in this case. Both teams can score and each will be looking to push the pace from the opening tip until the final horn. Houston will be especially desperate here and be looking to take advantage of a "King-less" Cavs team today, the Rockets are just 11-16 since January 17th and 1-4 in their last five after falling 104-101 at Indiana on Sunday. James Harden was a bright spot in that one though, he had 34 points, eight boards and eight assists. And with games upcoming at home vs. the Bulls and OKC before then visiting Dallas, tonight's contest almost becomes a do-or-die scenario for Houston. Cleveland has won 11 of 15 and three straight at home and one more victory would match last year's win total in eight fewer games and move the Cavs closer to the top seed since 2009. With James resting, this is an opportunity for the rest of the Cleveland line-up to step-up and prove they can handle the load; note that guard Kyrie Irving has averaged 26.6 points in five career games vs. Houston. Also note that from an Over/Under trend based stand-point, they simply don't get much better than this as Houston has seen the total sail above the number in 16 of 27 non-conference games this year and in 21 of 36 vs. teams with winning records, while Cleveland has seen the total sail above the posted number in 20 of 36 in front of the home town crowd and interestingly in 18 of 28 after a victory by ten points or more. Play the OVER.
