Talented Houston is in bounce-back mode after a loss at Brooklyn as James Harden was 2-of-16 on three-pointers. The Rockets are 29-17 ATS against teams that shoot 46% or better, plus 132-92 ATS on the road off a road loss. Miami plays in the weaker East and has had an easier schedule. Miami has a key injury concern as point forward Justise Winslow (back spasms) missed the last game. He is averaging 14.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists. Miami is 68-95 ATS at home against teams that force 16+ turnovers per game, as well as 13-26 ATS at home after having won two of their last three games. Play Houston.
