PREVIEW: The Miami Heat arrive in Houston operating with the league's quickest tempo and a remarkable ability to limit turnovers, ranking fourth in ball security despite their frantic pace. Meanwhile, the Rockets showcase elite offensive rebounding at 31.4 percent, the best mark in basketball, while struggling defensively against attacks at the rim. Miami enters as the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference at 38-32, while Houston holds the fourth spot in the West with a 42-27 record. The Heat have stumbled recently as losers of three straight and sit just 15-19 in road contests, yet they're only 18-25 against winning teams. Houston's home dominance cannot be ignored, having posted a 24-10 record at Toyota Center while allowing just 109.8 points per game and holding opponents to 46 percent shooting. The Heat have been sharp over their last ten outings, posting a 7-3 record while averaging 122.5 points and shooting 47.4 percent from the field. Bam Adebayo has elevated his game significantly, averaging 26.8 points and 8.2 rebounds over the past ten contests while shooting an impressive 43.4 percent. Miami already defeated Houston 115-105 earlier this season with Adebayo scoring 24 points, though the Rockets will look to avoid another fourth-quarter collapse.
