The Miami Heat pay a visit to the struggling Utah Jazz at the Delta Center on Tuesday night.
Miami Heat Betting Preview
The Miami Heat have been in decent shape as they’ve won four of their last six games overall and they will be looking to keep it going after outlasting the Kings in a 114-108 road victory on Sunday. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the team with 29 points, 14 rebounds and two blocks, Klay Thompson drained seven 3-pointers to finish with 23 points, Bam Adebayo scored 18 points while Davion Mitchell tallied 17 points with 11 assists. As a team, the Heat shot 50 percent from the field and 18 of 43 from the 3-point line as they found themselves in a real battle after they squandered an early 16-point lead, but key baskets from Antetokounmpo and Mitchell got the Heat back in front late in the fourth quarter.
Utah Jazz Betting Preview
Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz have been terrible so far as they’ve lost nine of their first 10 games of the season and they will be hoping to put a halt to an eight-game losing streak after getting thrashed by the Timberwolves in a 115-100 road defeat on Sunday. Darryn Peterson led the team with 26 points, six rebounds and four assists, Keyonte George added 19 points with eight assists while Jaxson Hayes chipped in with 18 points on six of six shooting. As a team, the Jazz shot 43 percent from the field and seven of 24 from the 3-point line as they worked hard to keep the scores deadlocked midway through the third quarter, but they went ice-cold and couldn’t recover after allowing the Timberwolves to go on a crucial 16-4 run to pull away.
Miami v Utah Free Prediction
The Heat are keeping an eye on Giannis Antetokounmpo who is dealing with a right wrist sprain, while the Jazz have ruled out Jusuf Nurkic and Keyonte George with Lauri Markkanen listed as questionable.
The Heat are starting to play some good basketball and they enter this matchup in pretty good form compared to the Jazz who haven’t looked good at all during their eight-game slide. Neither team has been good for bettors as they have a combined 3-17 ATS record on the season, but I think the Heat are a team on the rise and this looks like a good spot for them to get a comfortable win if they can get off to a quick start. Don’t have much trust in either side, but with the Jazz missing some players, I will lean towards the Heat in a game they should win by double digits.
