Will Miami’s offense deliver again?
The visitors recently made history—more specifically, their center Bam Adebayo. Against the Wizards, he scored 83 points, marking the second-highest single-game total in NBA history behind Wilt Chamberlain’s 100 points from March 1962! To find out which Houston Rockets vs. Miami Heat tip might be worth considering from a betting perspective, check out our preview of the NBA game tomorrow night.
The host Texans are facing an offensively potent visiting team, and not just because of Adebayo’s recent performance. The franchise from the “Sunshine State” is currently impressing with its collective scoring ability as well.
Miami has scored at least 115 points in eight of its last ten games. Against this backdrop, the prediction of over 113.5 points from Coach Erik Spoelstra’s squad looks promising for the showdown at the Toyota Center between the Houston Rockets and the Miami Heat.
Furthermore, we’re also selecting the line for over 17.5 points by Amen Thompson for the home team. The guard is currently in very solid form and impresses with his consistent scoring. He has surpassed the selected point total in nine of the past eleven games.
On top of that, Bam Adebayo appears to be riding high following his recent record-breaking performance. In nine of the last ten games, he has surpassed his season scoring average of 20.2 points, and in the last matchup against the hosts at the end of February, he led his team with 24 points. In light of this, the odds on the “Big Man” scoring at least 21 points again in the matchup between the Houston Rockets and Miami Heat could be equally worthwhile.
Houston Rockets – Miami Heat Head-to-Head Record
Houston and Miami faced off about a month ago in Florida, with the Heat securing a 115-105 home win against Coach Ime Udoka’s team. This is nothing new for this matchup: The basketball players from the “Lone Star State” have won only two of their last 14 matchups against the three-time NBA champions.
Houston Rockets – Miami Heat Prediction
Miami may be coming off three straight losses, but at least from an offensive perspective, the visitors are performing reliably. They’re also fresher than their opponents, as the Texans played just last night.
This physical disadvantage is likely to take a toll on the home team’s defense as well. Given this, the betting odds for the game between the Houston Rockets and Miami Heat—with the visitors scoring over 113.5 points—are worth considering.
A threshold that Spoelstra’s squad already surpassed in their last matchup against the home team about three weeks ago. On top of that, Miami is generally not a favorite opponent for the Texans—twelve of the last 14 matchups against Miami ended in a loss for the Rockets!
