Rockets-Heat Preview

It's been an inauspicious start to a season of high expectations for the Houston Rockets, who lost an opener they should have won before being reminded who the cream of the crop is in the Western Conference two days later. Looking to avoid their first 0-3 opening since 2010, the Rockets make a quick trip to Miami looking to continue their recent strong play against the Heat on Sunday night. Houston, which advanced to the conference finals last season, had the luxury of beginning 2015-16 with four of five at home, but it's stumbled out of the gate with losses to Denver and defending champion Golden State.
