Houston Rockets vs. Charlotte Hornets (7:00 PM ET)
Line: Houston Rockets (-4) vs. Charlotte Hornets (+4); total: 224.0 – view all NBA lines
Houston currently ranks second in the league in scoring with 114.3 points per game, including 119.0 points in the last three games. James Harden averaged 36.0 points, 8.6 rebounds and 10.0 assists during that stretch. However, Harden and the Rockets will take on the ninth-best scoring defense of Charlotte, which makes things quite unpredictable. Based on the results of last month’s regular-season opener though, the Hornets had no answers against Harden, who posted 40 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists to lead the Rockets to the 121-114 victory. Will he overpower the defense again and carry his squad to a W?
Writer’s Prediction
Houston (-4) wins and covers.
Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder (8:00 PM ET)
Line: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder – view all NBA lines
LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are all questionable for this game with their head coach Tyronn Lue mulling over giving his Big Three a rest. If they end up sitting out, give the automatic victory to Russell Westbrook and the Thunder, who are 8-2 SU and ATS in their last 10 home games. Westbrook is averaging 33.8 points, 10.0 rebounds and 9.3 assists through four games in this month of February.
Cleveland has won six of its last seven games (5-2 ATS), including a 107-91 home victory against OKC on Jan. 30.
Writer’s Prediction
OKC will in if the’ Big Three sit out. If not, the defending champs should register a solid road win.
