After a transition year last season the Miami Heat appear to be back in the thick of things in the Eastern Conference. Dwyane Wade has only missed one game this season and is coming off his top performance of the season, a 30 point game vs Boston. Another thing going for the Heat is that they’re a consistently great UNDER bet, having gone UNDER the total in 13 of their 16 games this season.
- Oklahoma City is 2-7 ATS in its last 9 games.
- Miami is 7-3 SU in its last 10 games.
- The Heat are 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS in their last six games after a loss.
They’ll welcome Russell Westbrook and the OKC Thunder to South Beach tonight, a team who has gone just 3-7 SU and ATS in their last 10 games vs Miami. That trend might be deceiving though as the majority of those games came when LeBron James was a member of the Heat. In two games last season vs Miami, OKC went 2-0 SU and ATS.
The UNDER is also trending for the Thunder, as the total has gone UNDER in five of their last six games and four of their last six vs Miami. Tonight’s total currently sits at 200.5, which is a total these teams have failed to reach in three straight game against each other.
The Thunder have played three games this season with two days off between games. In those games Russell Westbrook has averaged a triple double.
