The Houston Rockets have looked too good in recent games. The Rockets defeated the Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks in a fairly convincing fashion. It is not impossible that they will also resist the visitors from Florida.
The Miami Heat is a fairly slow team. In the last two games, the Heat has not conceded more than 108 points. It’s likely that the meeting with Houston will not be very productive. After all, the team from Texas also pays a lot of attention to the defence of the ring. In seven of the previous eight head-to-head battles, there had been no more than 229 points.
The Houston Rockets have looked more than respectable in recent games and has lost just once in its last four games to the San Antonio Spurs (118-109).
Despite last place in the Western Conference, the Texans have a good chance to beat even Miami.
The Rockets have five straight home wins, an almost abnormal feat for the worst team in the conference. The Texans have now moved into 14th place, thanks only to one less defeat than San Antonio.
The Houston Rockets don’t have much chance of winning the upcoming game, but they do. The Miami Heat is not having the best of times right now.
The Miami Heat is averaging 107.9 points per game this season.
Spoelstra’s club is slowly getting better and has lost just once in its last four games to the San Antonio Spurs (111-115). Meanwhile, there has been two straightaway wins over the Indiana Pacers (87-82) and Oklahoma City Thunder (110-108).
Leaders from the East Coast club are making a difference after returning to their lineup, but in the last game against the OKC Thunder, Tyler Herro was the best, was simply unstoppable and scored 35 points.
The Miami Heat currently sits just 8th in their conference with 14 wins and 15 losses.
The Heat has not scored more than 114 points in its last three games. We offer to bet on “Heat Points Under 113.5” with odds of 1.90.
In our opinion, the teams will take to the field with the following line-ups:
Houston Rockets: Kevin Porter Jr. – Jalen Green – Eric Gordon – Jabari Smith Jr. – Alperen Şengün.
