Houston Rockets vs. Miami Heat Preview, Prediction, and Odds | April 5, 2024

Houston Rockets

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.

The Miami Heat just had a 4-point loss against the Philadelphia 76ers. Terry Rozier had a great game with 22 points. Additionally, Jimmy Butler had a solid game with 20 points, 5 assists, and 4 rebounds. Lastly, Bam Adebayo gave the team 14 points and 11 rebounds. 

Can Miami climb up the standings one more time or will Houston get the win?

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)
