The Miami Heat are currently ranked 10th in the Eastern Conference standings, 8.5 games away from the first-place Boston Celtics. On the offensive end, the Heat averaged 107.9 points per game and shot 45 percent from the field. That’s the team with the fewest points per game and the 26th-highest field goal percentage on the team. The Miami Heat have an adjusted offensive rating of 109.1, good for 27th in the NBA.
Bam Adebayo leads the offense on the court, averaging 20.8 points on 52.9 percent shooting from the field. The Heat have also struggled to knock down shots from beyond the arc. Miami is shooting 33.7 percent from three, good for 24th in the league. Fortunately, they shot 83.2 percent from the line, the highest in the NBA. They can only let those free looks go to use if they want to climb the standings.
The Houston Rockets currently sit 15th in the Western Conference standings as they trail the No. 1 Pelicans by nine games. Offensively, they averaged 110.3 points per game while shooting 44.3 percent from the field. That’s 24th in points per game and the lowest field goal percentage in the league. The Houston Rockets have an adjusted offensive rating of 110.4, good for 25th in the league. Jalen Green leads Houston, averaging 21.8 points on 41.8 percent shooting from the field.
Houston also showed that they struggled to shoot consistently from beyond the arc. They made just 33.9 percent of their 3-pointers, the 22nd-highest three-point percentage among NBA teams. In this game, if they want to score efficiently, they must continue to hit the basket. They’re also in charge of the charity stripe business, shooting 78.8 percent from the field and ranking 15th in the NBA in free-throw percentage.
The Heat will continue to compete for shots around the rim and outside because they will not lose to the Rockets in this game. Neither team impresses offensively, but the Rockets could be better defensively too. They’ll keep Miami scoring consistently throughout the game as they slowly open up the gap.
Houston ranks 22nd in points allowed per game, holding opponents to the bottom 22 in field goal percentage. Miami will find open shots throughout the game, and I hope they take advantage of that. They are the better team in this game and won’t lose to weaker teams again.
