The Houston Rockets (38-38) face off against the Miami Heat (42-34) in what should be a great game.
Houston is coming off a tough loss against the Golden State Warriors. In that game, Jabari Smith Jr. led the team with 24 points. Also, Cam Whitmore had a solid game off the bench with 17 points. Lastly, Jalen Green gave the team 13 points, 7 assists, and 4 rebounds.

Game Prediction
The Miami Heat are known for their end-of-the-season bursts. Tonight they have a chance to jump into a playoff spot if the Indiana Pacers lose. On the other hand, Houston has most likely lost its opportunity to make it into the playoffs.
I believe Miami will play hard tonight and get the win.
Final Pick
Miami Heat -3.5 (-108)
