NBA Spread – Miami Heat at Houston Rockets
Just one night after scoring 61 points, Lebron James and the Miami Heat look for another win as they visit the Houston Rockets, this Tuesday at 8 PM ET at the Toyota Center.
James scored 61 points in the 124-107 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats; his highest scoring game ever.
“The amazing part is the efficiency,” teammate Shane Battier said. “Good Lord. Sixty-one on 33 shots, that’s Wilt Chamberlain-esque. That’s pretty amazing. Incredible performance.”
“The man above has given me some unbelievable abilities to play the game of basketball. I just try to take advantage of it every night. I got the trust of my teammates and my coaching staff to go in there and let it go,” he said.
Miami has won eight in a row since losing to the Utah Jazz on February 5th; they have also won 11 of their last 12.
Houston is coming off a 118-110 win over the Detroit Pistons; their ninth victory over the last 11 games with those two losses coming against the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Clippers.
“I thought we should have really put the foot on the gas,” All-Star center Dwight Howard said about the win against the Pistons. “We didn’t. We allowed them to get back into the game, and that is not what we need to do if we want to be a championship team.”
The Heat is one point favorite in the NBA Spread. Houston is 0-5 SU in its last 5 games when playing Miami.
