Houston Rockets at Cleveland Cavaliers
[h=1]Pick: Cavaliers -2[/h]In this game tonight you’ve got the Rockets traveling to Quicken Loans Arena to take on the top team in the Eastern Conference. Luckily for the Rockets, they’ve got LeBron James sitting tonight in preparation for the playoffs. I’m still backing the Cavs tonight, in part because of the road woes of the Rockets. They are 16-22 on the road this season, and they’ve lost their last four games on the road as well. Hardin will get his, as he averages 28.6ppg, but I don’t think it will be enough this time around. Last time LeBron sat out, Kyrie Irving picked up the slack and went for 33, and after sitting out the last game I think he can easily do that again tonight. The Cavaliers are playing especially well at home this year and have a 30-6 record. While a lot of that can be attributed to LeBron, I think that the combination of them being so dominant at home and the Rockets being quite the opposite will play a major factor and Cleveland leaves with a win tonight. The spread is a measly two points, so I don’t see them covering being a problem tonight. Back the Cavs.
