Houston Rockets vs Miami Heat Prediction and Betting Tips (01.01.2022)

Command Analysis

Houston Rockets

USA

Houston lost five consecutive matches, but Rockets were not looking so hopeless. For example, in the most recent match they managed to put up a fight to the Lakers. Jalen Green scored 24 points, Christian Wood and Kevin Porter scored 22 points each. But Rockets were still defeated (123:132).

Houston will play the upcoming match with the same squad. All of team's key players are available for the game, so we think that Rockets will be able to put up a better performance in the match against Miami.

Miami Heat

USA

Miami has many problems with their squad. Kyle Lowry, Bam Adebayo, P.J. Tucker, Dewayne Dedmon and Duncan Robinson will be unavailable in this game. It is also uncertain, whether Jimmy Butler will appear on the floor. He injured his ankle in the match against Washington. Jimmy had to miss the match against San Antonio, but match was postponed.

Miami's winning streak consists of four matches. In the previous match Heat beat Washington (119:112). But they had more players back then.

The absence of Miami's key players is a great opportunity for Houston. Rockets will try to put an end to their losing streak. In the previous match against the Lakers they put up a good performance. If boys from Texas will keep their spirit, they will have a chance.

We think that Rockets will put up a surprise.
