The Houston Rockets are putting their win streak on the line as they take on the Miami Heat tonight at the Kaseya Center.

Eight consecutive victories for the Rockets have given them the league's longest win streak and a run back up to No. 2 in the Western Conference.

With teams like the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets right on their tail, the Rockets need to take advantage of the struggling Heat, who have lost nine straight games.
