The Rockets have now taken 12 of their last 13 matchups against Eastern Conference teams.
Cleveland also enters in form after a 118-106 win over Milwaukee, where Donovan Mitchell poured in 37 points and seven assists on 14-22 shooting. The Cavs have won 16 straight when Mitchell shoots at least 55 percent. Sam Merrill is questionable for Cleveland, while Jabari Smith Jr. holds the same status for Houston.

Set to meet for the first time this season, the Hornets and Pacers match up Wednesday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Charlotte won last year’s series 2-1, powered by Brandon Miller’s 27.5 points per game, and there’s optimism with Miller now nearing a return from injury. The Hornets enter off a tight 110-108 loss to Toronto, where Kon Knueppel posted 24 points and three steals, but they’ve dropped 15 of their last 16 on the road.
Indiana is also searching for momentum after a 127-112 loss to Detroit behind Pascal Siakam’s 29 points and Bennedict Mathurin’s 25. The Pacers have now lost eight straight, their longest skid since 2022.

Separated by only half a game in the East, the Raptors and 76ers meet again Wednesday at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Philadelphia took the first matchup 130-120 on November 8, powered by Trendon Watford’s massive 20-point, 17-rebound, 10-assist triple-double. The 76ers enter this one fresh off a 110-108 win over the Clippers, where Tyrese Maxey erupted for 39 points while Joel Embiid remained out (and is doubtful again). That victory also snapped a five-game skid against Western Conference teams.
Toronto arrives riding a four-game winning streak after edging Charlotte 110-108 behind Brandon Ingram’s 27 points and three blocks. Paul George remains out for Philadelphia.
