Second of a back-to-back for the Heat and third road game in four nights. While Jimmy Butler is expected to play after missing Wednesday's win in Oklahoma City, Kyle Lowry, Victor Oladipo and Gabe Vincent will not -- and big man Bam Adebayo is not expected to but hasn't been ruled out as of this writing (this will drop when/if he's out). Caleb Martin also may sit. Houston's players apparently didn't get the tanking memo as the Rockets have won three of four.

This will be the second game of a back-to-back set for the Heat. They sat Jimmy Butler for rest on Wednesday, narrowly pulling out a two-point win on the road against the Thunder. For this game, Bam Adebayo and Victor Oladipo are expected to get the night off, while Butler returns. Complicating matters for the Heat is that they have a 5-9 record on the road this season, and they are just 5-14-1 against the spread as favorites. The Rockets have won five straight home games, which included victories over the 76ers, Bucks and Suns. Look for them to keep this game close, if not win it outright.
