ASA free play on Houston Rockets +3.5 vs. Miami Heat, 8 PM ET - The Heat are in a tough scheduling situation here as they are coming off a tight 2-point win in Oklahoma City last night, also playing their 3rd game in 4 nights and 4th in 6 days. Houston meanwhile has been at home resting since the 13th. The young Rockets have put together an impressive home winning streak with quality wins over the Suns, Bucks, 76ers, Thunder and Hawks. Most recently they held the Suns to 32% shooting, well below their season average. The game before that they held the Bucks to 36.7%. Miami is 5-9 SU away from home with a negative differential of minus -3.3PPG. On the season the Rockets are 6-5 SU at home with a plus +0.6PPG differential, but again, in their last five they are 5-0 with a +/- of +9.4PPG. The Heat are one of the worst defensive rebounding teams in the NBA and the Rockets have the 4th best offensive rebounding numbers. That will be the difference tonight.
