The Houston Rockets and the Miami Heat are set to battle it out at Toyota Center in an NBA cross-conference clash. The Heat won the previous matchup 115-105 and are seeking a second consecutive win. Here's our match prediction.
The Houston Rockets are 42-27 on the season. This has them occupying fourth place in the Western Conference standings.
In their recent match, they beat the Atlanta Hawks 117-95 at home. That result couldn't have come at a better time, as it halted a two-match losing streak. Despite this, they are struggling to maintain consistency, with three losses in their last five matches.
The Rockets are privileged with home court advantage once again on the second night of a back-to-back. Their performance at the Toyota Center has been convincing, with four wins in their last six games. Hopefully, they'll use this to their advantage to secure a second straight win.
The Miami Heat are 38-32 on the season. This has them occupying seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings.
In their recent match, they suffered a 134-126 home defeat against the Los Angeles Lakers. That result marked their third consecutive defeat.
This is a significant drop in form for a side that was recently on a seven-match winning streak. On foreign territory, their performance has left much to be desired, with three losses in their last four outings.
