The Miami Heat (29-40) and the Houston Rockets (45-25) will meet at Kaseya Center in Friday's NBA cross-conference matchup. The Heat are ninth in the Eastern Conference table, while the Rockets are second in the Western Conference. Here's our prediction for the match.
The Miami Heat lost again on Wednesday, this time to the Detroit Pistons, suffering a narrow 116-113 home defeat. It appeared as if they were heading for overtime until the Piston guard Cade Cunningham drilled a three-pointer with 2.9 seconds left on the scoreboard.
Bam Adebayo, who got beat on defense to concede the game-winning three-pointer from Cunningham, led the way with 30 points while Tyler Herro contributed 29 points.
The Heat have now lost nine consecutive matches. This will be their second game of a five-game homestand.
The Houston Rockets will be seeking to improve their impressive record in the NBA with another convincing win. The visitors are currently enjoying an eight-match winning streak.
On Wednesday, they had no trouble seeing off the threat of the Orlando Magic, winning 116-108 away from home. Jalen Green led the way with 26 points. Alperen Sengun posted a double-double, scoring 22 points and grabbing 12 rebounds.
The Rockets, high on confidence, have won their last two away matches. A third consecutive win will be considered a huge improvement having been on an eight-match losing streak.
