How many times has Houston been a favorite on the road this year?

Houston beat the Knicks, Minnesota, Milwaukee and Chicago on the road. They are basically in the same category as Cleveland if not slightly better. Houston was an underdog in all those games except Milwaukee where they started off as an underdog in the opening line. The most Houston has been favored on the road this year is at Milwaukee I believe as a -1.5 favourite.. Houston being favored -6 is the highest they've been favored on the road all year.. They've been covering as a dog on the road. They covered 1ce as a favorite on the road. The Cavs are a 1st half team and fades in the 2nd half. The Cavs plays no defense ala Houston. I see a run and gun type of game with the one who scores the most winning.

Cavs could come out 1st half strong and fade down the stretch in the 2nd half. I think Houston could get the spread if Cavs falter in the 2nd half but Houston plays no defense so that's a big if.. It could be a toss up. If the line goes to Houston -7, I will play the Cavs +7.

you are right..it is too risky..i was impressed by yesterday victory...maybe I'll play them ML with others 2-3 teams..thanks..anyway I think they will win

[Durrrr]

Houston has been one of the only teams this year I cannot win ATS vs, but I have a feeling if I take them here they will be in for a let down, so no play for me..

I've never looked at it this way before. This should make picking winners a whole lot easier. Thanks.

I was correct. The Cavs played great and faltered in the 2nd half as always. It was a run and gun type game as non of them played a lick of defense. Whoever scored the most points won. Played out just the way I expected. I stay away from those types of games though, where no team plays a lick of defense. Anything can happen in those games..

Dude you have to stop saying that. Whoever scores the most points ALWAYS wins. That's the whole point.
