The Miami heat knew it would be a challenging year without LeBron in the fold, and it surely has been so far as the Heat enter tonight's game with just a 14-19 record. The good news is that their best basketball has come on the road where they aren't feeling the pressure from the home town fans, and the Heat are over .500 through 15 roadies. Houston has felt the pressure at home themselves as 6 of their 10 losses on the season have come in this building. The Rockets are also currently playing their worst basketball of the season with five losses in their last eight games, including an ugly 28-point loss at New Orleans last night. The Heat have shown the ability to bounce back off a double-digit loss at 4-0 ATS in their last four, and are catching the Rockets at just the right time. Take the points on Miami.
