Financial Times: “If Biden’s coronavirus recovery plans are vindicated, they will demonstrate it is possible to ‘build back better’ from the pandemic and that advanced economies have been overly obsessed with inflation for the past 30 years. It will put government back at the heart of day-to-day economic management.”
“If the plan comes off, it will show that unnecessary timidity in recent decades has let millions suffer unnecessary unemployment, starved many areas of opportunities for improved living standards and widened inequalities.”
“But if the strategy fails, ending in overheating, high inflation, financial instability and the economics of the 1970s, the US experiment of 2021 will go down as one of the biggest own goals of economic policymaking since François Mitterrand’s failed reflation in France in 1981.”

In a matchup of two of the NBA’s four worst teams by record, Houston (11-18) visits Cleveland (11-21) on Wednesday night. The Rockets enter on an eight-game losing streak, which is their longest as a franchise in over 20 years, while the Cavaliers have lost 10 of their last 11. However, they snapped a 10-game skid on Tuesday night versus Atlanta.
A night later, Houston hopes this is its turn to end a similar drought.
The Rockets will remain short-handed; star center Christian Wood (right ankle sprain) is still out. The Rockets are 0-8 since Wood’s latest injury, immediately after going 7-1 in the previous eight games.
Victor Oladipo (right foot strain) and Eric Gordon (right heel soreness) are each questionable, while recent starting center DeMarcus Cousins was released on Tuesday. That means the Rockets could be without as many as four of their top six rotation players from recent weeks.

Wednesday’s starters for the Cavaliers are expected to be Collin Sexton, Darius Garland, Cedi Osman, Isaac Okoro and Jarrett Allen. Meanwhile, Stephen Silas appears likely to counter with John Wall, Eric Gordon, Jae’Sean Tate, Danuel House Jr. and PJ Tucker and for the Rockets. If Oladipo plays, he would likely bump Gordon to a sixth-man role. If neither plays, David Nwaba or Sterling Brown would start.
Advice and prediction
Fortunately for Houston, Cleveland will be even more undermanned. The Cavs are on the second night of a back-to-back after narrowly defeating Atlanta on Tuesday, and they have a long injury list. Andre Drummond (personal reasons), Kevin Love (right calf strain), Larry Nance Jr. (left hand fracture) and Matthew Dellavedova (concussion) are out. Meanwhile, Taurean Prince missed Tuesday’s game with a sore left ankle.
Against two talented young guards, Sexton and Garland, the Rockets will need Wall and Gordon (if he plays) to be more efficient than they were in Monday’s blowout loss to Chicago. In that one, each veteran guard shot below 30% from the field. Without Cousins, Houston could also ask recent signing Justin Patton to play more minutes in the middle.
The Cavaliers had some bounces go their way on Tuesday night, so perhaps the Rockets are due, as well.
Prediction: 111-108, Rockets
