The Miami Heat try to avoid more embarrassment to this NBA Picks season when they travel to the Lone Star State to take on the Houston Rockets. The Heat are in the midst of one of the worst seasons in NBA history having fallen to the bottom of the NBA standings. The Heat have lost nine games in a row and have just one win over their last 25 games. Miami just can’t seem to stop anyone from scoring as they are allowing 101 points per game on the road while their opponents have shot a very high 47.8% from the field. One ray of hope this evening could be the fact that Miami did beat the Rockets in their only other meeting this season. Apparently the books aren’t really concerned about that fact as the Heat are listed as a double digit +10 point underdog at SBGglobal.com
The Houston Rockets come into this game red hot and are focused on a playoff spot as they have won 9 games in a row to put them at 33-20 SU overall including 16-9 SU at home. The Rockets last win was back on Tuesday when they beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 93-85. Unfortunately for the Rockets they will have to continue the winning as even with their recent surge they still are only in fourth place in the Southwest Division and tied for seventh in the Western Conference overall. They have been a force on defense this season as they are allowing only 90.9 points per game at home. Houston has also been effective under the glass out rebounding their opponents by a 22-18 per game margin.
Most look at this game as Miami not having much hope of pulling out a victory in this one as they are a bankroll draining 6-15 ATS off a road loss this season. However, if you believe that Houston is the team to take tonight keep in mind that history is not on their side as they are only 1-11 ATS in home games after covering 4 of their last 5 against the spread over the last 3 seasons.
