Our Miami Heat vs Houston Rockets Prediction
Fearless Forecast: The Rockets cool down the Heat 117-103
The Heat will be missing their 20-point-per-game scorer, Norman Powell, when they clash with the Rockets. Miami is a well-coached team with a next man up attitude, but playing without their leadings scorer won’t be easy especially against the high-powered Rockets.
Houston is 1-8-1 ATS in its last 10 games against Miami, but it is 4-1 ATS in their last five games. Miami also wants to push the ball and score as many buckets as possible. But again, this team will need other role players to step up to cover Powell’s point production. Things will only get tougher as they are facing the Rockets’ defense, which has been elite all season long.
Our betting prediction for the Houston Rockets vs. the Miami Heat: The Rockets -3.5 pointsAll tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
