Cleveland Cavaliers vs Houston Rockets

With Kyrie Irving back in the mix, the Cleveland Cavaliers have further distinguished themselves as the top team in the Eastern Conference and might even be able to give the Warriors and Spurs a run for their money. Cleveland actually faced off against San Antonio on Thursday night and kept it close, losing to the Spurs by four.

Cleveland is four games ahead of everyone else in first place in the conference as Kyrie is averaging over 16 points and 4.1 assists since his return. LeBron James has been his typical MVP-level self, scoring 25.8 points, grabbing 7.4 rebounds and dishing 6.1 assists per game.

Houston, on the other hand, has been struggling to stay relevant this season ever since firing Kevin McHale, but the Rockets are slowly creeping up the Western Conference standings, sitting at 21-19 after five straight victories.

James Harden has been his typical self as well, averaging 28 points, 6.8 assists and six rebounds per game for the Rockets. If Houston is going to have any shot at the playoffs this season, he needs to gel more with Dwight Howard and get the big man involved. Howard is putting up 14.2 points and 11.9 rebounds per game — surprisingly the second-highest scorer on the team.
