The Cavs head to Miami on the back of a tough 4 pt win over the Celtics at home. After falling behind by 15 pts, the Cavs rallied to win in OT as Donovan Mitchell finished with 40 pts. They will now play their next 4 games on the road and they’ll be keen to snap a 3 game-losing streak away from Cleveland. There’s also the revenge factor after losing to the Heat at home in early February 100-97. In terms of their starting lineup, they’ll likely go with the same starting 5.<\/span><\/p>\n The Heat are coming off back-to-back wins over the Hawks on their home court and they’ll be looking to achieve the same result against the Cavs. Jimmy Butler scored 26 pts in their latest win and just fell short of a triple-double by an assist & board. They’re still without Kyle Lowry so Vincent will continue to start at point guard. Kevin Love is questionable after missing their last game so he could play in this one.<\/span><\/p>\n With a 21-1 home record against the Cavs, the Heat do look good value as a home underdog. The Cavs could be a bit tired after an OT game and haven’t consistently played well on the road this season. Miami are 10-3 in their last 13 at home and should be able to cover.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n Miami are 7-3 in their last 10 at home. Cleveland has a woeful 1-21 record in Miami.<\/span><\/p>\n Head to Head Record<\/b><\/p>\n The season series is tied at 1-1 but the Heat have won 6 of the last 10 since 2020.<\/span><\/p>\n Best Bet<\/b><\/p>\n Miami Heat +2.5 = $1.91<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The Thunder are starting to heat up after 3 straight wins. On Wednesday, they held on to beat the Warriors in a high-scoring affair 137-128. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has returned from injury and hasn’t shown any rust in two straight 30+ point outings. However, he will miss this clash due to load management along with Jalen Williams. So it will be up to the likes of Giddey and Dort to get the Thunder over the line, which will be a challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n The Suns are now 3-0 with Kevin Durant on the court and they’ll be favoured to make it 4-0 against the Thunder. They come off an impressive win over the Mavs as the Durant\/Booker combination was in full force. Durant finished with a game-high 37 pts and also got the better of his old teammate Kyrie Irving. Meanwhile, Booker is in red-hot shooting form after scoring 35 or more pts in his last 3 games – all since Durant joined the Suns. However, this matchup does seem like it has blowout potential so the Suns could opt to rest their starters throughout the contest.<\/span><\/p>\n There likely won’t be much defence in this contest so we like the Over. The Thunder are on a back-to-back and will be without SGA. The Over is also 5-0 in their last 5 and 4-2 at this venue. It’s hard to see them stopping the lethal Durant\/Booker scoring combination.<\/span><\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/b><\/p>\n Phoenix are 7-3 in their last 10 at home.
