Charlotte may be in the heart of basketball country, but when the Cleveland Cavaliers come to town, they own the place. LeBron James and company are all abuzz whenever they play the Hornets. They've beaten Charlotte like and drum of late and won eight in a row. The last time Charlotte won successive games from the Cavaliers was in 2010-11, when they were they known as the Bobcats.

No matter how you slice it, when the Houston Rockets meet up with the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Rockets slice and dice the T-Wolves. Houston has won three in a row from Minnesota. They have also taken 11 of the last 12 games between the two teams and 15 of the last 17. You have to go all the way back to the 2011-12 season to find Minnesota beating Houston more than once.
