Miami Heat vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction
The Dallas Mavericks will continue to be without Luka, while Jimmy Butler is questionable due to an illness. The Heat are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but it’s the Mavs that are playing the better ball. Despite injuries, the Mavs have still won four straight games, and that includes winning in OKC and Denver. The Heat continue to be hit or miss, and they’re just 2-3 SU at home. The Mavs have also won 6 of the last 8 games against the Heat. If the Mavs are hitting shots, the Heat haven’t shown they can keep up. I’ll grab the bucket.
