ASA play on Houston Rockets -5.5 at Miami Heat, 8pm ET - The Houston Rockets are a solid bet against the struggling Miami Heat tonight in South Beach. Houston is riding an eight-game winning streak, seven by 7+ points, while Miami has dropped nine straight, with six of those losses coming by five or more points. The Rockets’ season-long Net Rating of +4.7 far outpaces the Heat’s -1.9, and the gap widens when looking at the last 10 games—Houston ranks 5th with a +9.0 Net Rating, while Miami sits at 27th with a -9.1. Houston’s elite defense, ranking 4th in field goal percentage allowed and 8th in Defensive Efficiency, should stifle a slumping Heat offense that ranks 21st in FG% overall, 17th in 3PT% and has the worst Efficiency rating in the league over their last 5-games.
