Heat vs Rockets live stream: How to watch NBA live, TV channel, h2h and prediction

The Houston Rockets – currently on a three-game losing streak – will face the Miami Heat next. The team last won against the Memphis Grizzlies, which had followed a previous six-game streak. Having traded James Harden earlier this year, the team is looking to rebuild with a young roster – which has Christian Wood leading with a 22-point average per season. Victor Oladipo (19.6 PPG) and John Wall (19.2 PPG) follow. 

The Miami Heat, who are now on a three-game winning streak, finally seem to have found their pace. Previously playing with a somewhat depleted roster, the team – including rookie Tyler Herro – failed to score efficiently. Bam Adebayo leads with a 20.1-point average, while Jimmy Butler and Herro follow.
