The Phoenix Suns and Miami Heat meet Wednesday in NBA action at the FTX Arena. The Phoenix Suns look for a win after winning six of their last nine games. The Miami Heat look for a win after winning 12 of their last 14 games.
The Phoenix Suns are averaging 113.9 points on 48.3 percent shooting and allowing 106.2 points on 44.2 percent shooting. Devin Booker is averaging 25.6 points and 5.2 rebounds, while Deandre Ayton is averaging 16.6 points and 9.7 rebounds. Mikal Bridges is the third double-digit scorer and Cameron Johnson is grabbing 4.1 rebounds. The Phoenix Suns are shooting 36.5 percent from beyond the arc and 79.4 percent from the free throw line. The Phoenix Suns are allowing 33.6 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 45.3 rebounds per game.
The Miami Heat are averaging 109.7 points on 46.4 percent shooting and allowing 104.6 points on 44.3 percent shooting. Jimmy Butler is averaging 21.4 points and 5.7 assists, while Tyler Herro is averaging 20.8 points and 4.8 rebounds. Bam Adebayo is the third double-digit scorer and Kyle Lowry is grabbing 4.6 rebounds. The Miami Heat are shooting 37.7 percent from beyond the arc and 80.7 percent from the free throw line.

The Suns are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Heat are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The over is 9-3 in Suns last 12 overall. The over is 7-3 in Heat last 10 home games. The Suns are 6-14 ATS in the last 20 meetings in Miami and 7-21 ATS in the last 28 meetings.
The Phoenix Suns have been shaky since the injury to Chris Paul, and them being on the end of a back to back here doesn’t help. The Miami Heat are as healthy as they’ve been all season with the return of Lowry and Victor Oladipo, and they’re winning their last five games by an average of 10.4 points. The Heat are 39-26-1 against the spread on the year. I’ll lay the reasonable number with the Heat at home.
