Miami Heat vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction

Don’t look now, but the Mavericks have won two straight games, cashing monster underdog tickets. However, it’s going to take more than that to move the needle. The Mavs have been awful dating back to the end of last season. The Heat continue to impress, and they’re 13-8 ATS on the season. The Heat already beat the Mavs a couple of weeks ago, and they’re healthier than they were before, getting Herro back in the mix. I’ve been on the Heat a lot up to this point, and it’s paid off. I’m not stepping in front of them for the Mavs. I’ll lay the reasonable number with the Heat on the road.
