Mavericks vs Heat Prediction

The Dallas Mavericks continue to find ways to win here and there, and last night’s win over the Warriors was huge for their confidence. The Mavs also have the edge here with both teams playing last night and them not having to travel. The Heat have serious offensive issues, and they’ve scored single-digit points twice in their last nine quarters. With all of that said, the Heat are the healthier team, and guys like Ware and Bam should feast against a Mavs team with zero frontcourt. With no Gafford, AD, Lively, and Washington, it’s hard seeing the Mavs defend the paint against a Heat team that’s gotten bigger over the last few weeks. I’ll lay the bucket.
