Miami Heat vs Houston Rockets Prediction & Betting Tips - NBA

 by Joseph King | in NBA Predictions

An inter-conference matchup on Monday in the NBA sees the 20-15 Miami Heat hosting the 18-16 Houston Rockets. The Heat are currently sitting eighth in the congested East standings which sees only a half game separating eighth-place from fourth-place. Miami will be seeking a bounce back following a disappointing 113-97 away loss to the Phoenix Suns in their last outing. It was the team’s third defeat in their last four appearances and also the second-lowest points total that they had put up this season. Star player Jimmy Butler continues to miss out with a foot injury and the Heat are clearly missing his influence in recent games. They’ve managed a 6-5 record without the 34-year-old this season but could really use his 20+ points per game and hard-nosed defense right now. The Heat return to South Beach for this game after a lengthy five-game road trip and have a 9-6 record at the Kaseya Center this season.

The Rockets now hit the road after wrapping up their extended seven game home stand on the right foot with an impressive 112-108 win over the Bucks. Despite Giannis going off for 48 points, the Rockets were able to stifle the Bucks long range shooting and held their opponents to just 26.5% from downtown. Overall, it was the team’s third win from the last four and somewhat salvaged the three losses they had suffered earlier for a 3-4 record during the home stand. They’ll now have to adapt to playing on the road where they have struggled to get the same kind of results. The Rockets are just 3-10 as the away team this season compared to their stellar 15-6 mark in Houston. Their 18-16 record has them sitting eighth in the West and with a 2.5 game gap opened up between themselves and rivals Dallas in seventh.

Our Miami Heat vs Houston Rockets Prediction

The Rockets certainly haven't been the same team on the road that they have been at the Toyota Center this season. However, they've been an exceptional team against the spread and their 6-6-1 ATS record on the road suggests they are keeping games closer than their 3-10 straight up recrod would suggest. Miami is coming off a difficult outing which saw them shut down offensively. They've now dropped three of their last four and are missing their star player. There's good reason to assume that the more in-form away team will be able to keep this close, if not outright steal it. Our Miami Heat vs Houston Rockets prediction is for the Rockets +4.5.
