The league’s two best sides are set to face each other for the 2nd time in a week, as the Cavs look to complete a regular season sweep over the Thunder.
Cleveland ended Oklahoma’s 15-game winning streak last Thursday (AEST), claiming a 7-point victory infant of their home crowd, with twin talls, Allen and Mobley combining for 46 points and 21 boards.
OKC’s home record is 2nd to none, they’ve gone 17-2 in Oklahoma, while also going 12-5-1 against the spread.
Thins is bound to be a cracking fixture, I’m taking the Thunder to even the ledger and cover the line as home favourites.
The Kings host the Rockets for the 2nd time this season, and will be looking to go 2-0 against their Conference rivals.
Sacramento are 7-3 across their last 10 games, but enter this fixture off the back of a poor defensive showing in Milwaukee, going down to the Bucks 115-130.
Similarly, the Rockets are 7-3 across their las t10 games, and are eyeing off their fifth straight win, as they look to consolidate 2nd place in the Western standings.
Houston are a credible 12-6 on the road this season, and are 11-6 against the spread in such fixtures.
This will be the 2nd of back-to-back games for the Rockets, who have thrived without rest this season, covering the line in seven of 11 games which their opponents had a rest advantage.
The Rockets show up to play every time they step foot onto the hardwood, and I have them covering the spread in this tough road fixture.
