Wikipedia

The Houston Rockets will play the Miami Heat on Tuesday night in a big match up between two unbeaten teams so far this NBA 2014-2015 season.

Today's big NBA game will take place from the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, Florida and will see the Houston Rockets go on the road in an attempt to win their fifth straight game to open up their season.

The game will start at 7.30 p.m. ET and will be shown on CSNH and SUN, but will also be available to watch online through live stream - free for subscribers - via the link provided below.

Even though the Rockets will be looking to maintain their winning start to the season, they will come up against another undefeated team in tonight's match up. The Heat are 3-0 and will be hoping to use home court advantage to make it four wins in a row and inflict a first defeat of the season for the Rockets.

Chris Bosh has been in fantastic form so far this season, posting career high marks of 25.7 points, 11.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game.

Bosh has said, "I guess it's just effort. We know a lot of people aren't expecting us to do much on the boards. That's a little bit of inspiration."

The Heat are on fire, and have averaged 109.3 points per game to rank second in the league.

This is their best start to a season since they won their opening five games in the 2011-2012 season.

Coach Erik Spoelstra has said ahead of the game: "We're three games into this so it could quickly go the other way if guys start to feel comfortable and try to start to do it on their own. And that's not the makeup of this group. That's not at all a referendum on our personnel, it's the power of working together that will make us more successful. The guys see it. They see how our team will have to play to be successful."

The Rockets meanwhile have not had such a good start to a season for nearly a decade; in 1996-1997 they won their opening six games of the season.

Coach Kevin McHale has said, "We still have stuff to work on. We just have to keep on going out there and understanding that we have a lot of work to do, we're not a finished product by any stretch of the imagination."
