The Cleveland Cavaliers play host to the Houston Rockets, at Quicken Loans Arena on Saturday evening.

This marks the second game of a back-to-back for the Cavaliers (3-14), who are coming off their most impressive win of the season so far. The Cavs defeated the host Philadelphia 76ers, 121-112, on Friday night, behind 25 points from Rodney Hood. However, it was a total team effort from the Cavs that allowed them to top the Sixers, who were previously undefeated at home, as Cedi Osman finished with 20 points, Collin Sexton finished with 23 points, and Tristan Thompson tallied 18 points and 13 rebounds. This marks the first game of a two-game home stand for the Cavs, where they are 2-6 this season. Cleveland sits 14th place in the East, 5.5 games behind the eighth spot.

Meanwhile, this also marks the second game of a back-to-back for the Rockets (9-8), who are coming off a tough overtime loss in Detroit on Friday night. Clint Capela had a huge night, with 29 points, 21 rebounds, three blocks, two steals and one assist, while James Harden tallied 33 points and Chris Paul finished with 20 points, but their great efforts were not enough in the end. The Rockets sit in ninth place, just 0.5 games behind the eight spot, and only 2.5 games out of first in the West. This marks the second game of a three-game road trip for the Rockets, who are 5-4 on the road so far. James Harden leads the league, averaging 29.0 points per game, and 2.5 steals per game, while Chris Paul averages 2.4 steals per game, which is second most in the league. After a rough start to the season, the Rockets are 7-3 in their last 10 games. However, they will have to be careful not to take the matchup lightly, as the Cavs showed what the can do with their win in Philly on Friday.
