Heat at Suns picks and predictions
Prediction
Suns 109, Heat 106
Moneyline
The Suns are healthy and undefeated at home. The Heat have won their only road game and are 2-0 away from home (they beat Washington on a neutral court in Mexico City).
The Heat have not lost consecutive games this season, but the Suns are both rolling and clutch, as they have had close games in all but 1 this season.
The Suns should pick up the home win, but don’t bet the ML at -225, as there isn’t enough value to make that bet, unless it is part of a parlay bet.
PASS.
Against the spread
The Suns have been living in close games. Three of their 6 wins have been by 3 points or less and 2 were by 6 points. They are 2-5 ATS overall on the season.
The Heat are 1-3 ATS in their last 4 games, but are 2-0 ATS in their 2 games away from home.
BET HEAT +5.5 (-110).
Over/Under
Five of the Heat’s 6 games this season have not had totals above the projection for this game.
The Suns have had 3 games not reach 221 total points. The Over and Under have alternated the last 4 games and their win over Philly had the Over cash in.
BET UNDER 220.5 (-105).
