The Cleveland Cavaliers have a chance to win their fourth consecutive game Monday as they take on the Rockets in Houston.
It was just a few days ago the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Houston Rockets 112-96 at home. Now Cleveland is facing Houston again, but this time it will be on the road.
The last time the two teams met the Rockets were on an eight game losing streak, a streak that has since been stretched to 11. Meanwhile the Cavaliers snapped their losing streak the night before after defeating the Atlanta Hawks 112-111.Cleveland’s winning streak is now up to three games and they have a chance to run it to four if they come away with a victory Monday.
The Cavs will still be without Kevin Love as it is unlikely he returns prior to the All-Star break. Matthew Dellavedova, Larry Nance Jr., and Andre Drummond will also not play while Cedi Osman is questionable with a back injury. This time Houston will be a bit more healthy as the only two players listed as out for the Rockets are Dante Exum and Christian Wood.
No matter which team wins a streak will continue and another will end. The question is which is more likely to continue, the Cavaliers winning streak or the Rockets losing streak. Considering the length of Houston’s, it seems like it will end sooner rather than later.
