How much offensive push is Houston going to have playing it fourth game in five nights? Especially against this talented Miami defense? Miami's best offensive players continue to be banged up. Dwyane Wade injured his finger in the Heat’s loss to the Wizards, while LeBron James was out for "minor bumps and bruises" and Chris Bosh rested for the third straight game with "minor ailments" according to Coach Erik Spoelstra, who said the team was trying to get better before the playoffs. The Rockets kept their slim playoffs hopes alive with a 99-96 win over the Golden State Warriors in South Texas on Saturday, so they will bring their best defense, especially in the first half with their playoffs lives on the line. Miami's offense was terrible in the first half against Washington the last game, scoring only 37 points. Play the the first half UNDER the total.
