VITALS: The Heat and Rockets meet for the second and final regular season matchup. Earlier this season, Miami recorded a 10-point, 115-105, win on February 28 and has now won 10 of the last 11 overall against Houston. The Heat are 43-34 all-time versus the Rockets during the regular season, including 26-14 in home games and 17-20 in road games. The Rockets, who are one of the top teams in the Western Conference, are coming off a 117-95 victory against the Atlanta Hawks. Kevin Durant led the way with 25 points while Jabari Smith Jr., added 23. The win snapped the Hawks' 11-game winning streak. Durant is just 26 points from passing Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list. The feat only adds to a legendary career that includes winning two championships with the Golden State Warriors and one MVP when he played for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Durant is a sure-fire first ballot Hall of Famer.

QUOTABLE
Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra after his team allowed Luka Doncic to score 60 points in Thursday's loss to the Los Angeles Lakers: “We just probably weren’t active enough to try to get the ball out of his hands ... We’re at our best when we’re disruptive and reckless. We know what to do. We know we have everything we need defensively. There just has to be an overall commitment to more… more disruption, more tenacity, more pursuits on the glass."
