Today in the NBA, the Rockets welcome the Heat in what should be an entertaining match at the Toyota Center. If you plan to watch Houston Rockets vs Miami Heat live, stream online, or on TV today then first check out our Houston vs Miami match preview.
Houston Rockets vs Miami Heat
The Rockets go into this one with a 50% winning record, and naturally as underdogs against the Miami Heat. Rick Adelman will be sure to keep an eye on the Miami streak (W 3), but the key against Heat will be containing Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh. The Rockets point differential is 1.6 this season (good for number 13 in the NBA), but not as good as the Miami Heat’s average winning margin of 9.6 in the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Playing on the road, the Heat will need to play to their strengths and their 12.6 turnovers per game is their strongest statistical attribute (and 1st in the whole league in that area). Erik Spoelstra’s team is 24-9 this season and today will hope to improve their 11-5 record away from American Airways Arena.
Houston have been dominating their opponents this season in the assists departement, with a 3.8 assists differential advantage over their opponents on average over the season. Their 23.9 assists average per game is 2nd best in the NBA, and that will be an area that Erik Spoelstra and his coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen the Rockets’ 9-4 home record.The fans in the Toyota Center are in for a treat today and if you want to join them and watch Rockets vs Heat online live streaming on NBA League Pass or on your TV – then make sure to tune in at 20:30 ET today.
