After a hard-fought win in Orlando, the Houston Rockets travel to South Beach for a game about 40 hours later. This is a recipe for disaster. At least James Harden isn\u2019t on the team anymore.<\/p>\n
The Heat are 31-29 and are coming off back-to-back losses against the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers. They play offense at the league\u2019s fastest pace and take (and make) the most shots in the league. They grab the most defensive rebounds and are fourth on defense.<\/p>\n
Norman Powell got hurt against the Sixers so Miami\u2019s offense will mostly revolve around Bam Adebayo, Andrew Wiggins, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Amen Thompson\u2019s nemesis, Tyler Herro.<\/p>\n
The early games are basically always losses for the Rockets, regardless of roster. I expect Miami to come out hot after two losses and treat this game a bit more seriously than Houston. If the Rockets come out sloppily, this could be over in a hurry.<\/p>\n
