Friday’s Best NBA Preseason Bets: Heat vs. Rockets

Heat vs. Rockets

The Heat and Rockets will each play their fifth game of the preseason. The Heat most recently lost to the Nets, 107-104. Most of the starters didn’t play. Bam Adebayo added 16 minutes, while Josh Richardson played seven minutes. But Cole Swider is starting to come into his own. Jamal Cain is also an exciting prospect, along with the young Nikola Jovic. They’ll take on a Rockets team that has gone 3-1 in preseason. The Rockets couldn’t contain Victor Wembanyama. But Jabari Smith Jr. added 20 points, while Cam Whitmore added 17 points. The young guys got to play that game and shined while Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks, and Fred VanVleet all sat.

Houston’s core is not getting enough love. Give me the Rockets on their home floor.

Bet: Rockets +1 (-110)
