Miami Heat Betting PreviewÂ
The Miami Heat haven’t been at their best as they’ve lost six of their last 10 games overall, but they will be feeling better after they smashed the Jazz in a 147-116 win last night. Bam Adebayo led the team with 26 points and 15 rebounds, Nikola Jovic added 23 points off the bench, Pelle Larsson scored 20 points on seven of 11 shooting while Andrew Wiggins chipped in with 17 points and six assists. As a team, the Heat shot 44 percent from the field and 19 of 47 from the 3-point line as they took control of the contest with a dominant 38-18 second quarter domination to take a 21-point lead into halftime, before they exploded for 39 points in the fourth quarter to secure one of their best wins of the season.
Phoenix Suns Betting PreviewÂ
Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns have been in fine form as they’ve reeled off six wins from their last nine games overall, but they are looking to bounce back in this one after having their three-game win streak halted by the Hawks in a 110-103 road defeat on Friday. Devin Booker led the team with 31 points on 12 of 21 shooting, Collin Gillespie and Grayson Allen each scored 16 points while Dillon Brooks chipped in with 11 points on four of 18 shooting. As a team, the Suns shot 44 percent from the field and 11 of 34 from the 3-point line as they looked to be in control when they dominated the third quarter by 32-20 to take the lead into the fourth quarter where they went ice-cold and scored just 12 points to allow the Hawks off the hook.
Miami v Phoenix Free Prediction
The Heat are still shorthanded with Kel’el Ware, Tyler Herro and Davion Mitchell all out, while the Suns have ruled out Devin Booker with Jalen Green listed as questionable. The Heat haven’t been able to hit their stride this season, but they would’ve taken plenty of confidence from their dominant win over the Jazz last night. However, the Suns are still the favorites in this matchup as they’ve been one of the more consistent teams all season and they could have Jalen Green return for this game, so I will stick with the more reliable Suns to take care of business at home.
