Miami Heat vs. Utah Jazz - 7/25/20 NBA Picks and Prediction

On offense, the Heat were led by Duncan Robninson and he was really strong putting up 18 points on the way to the victory. If Robinson can continue to play good basketball the next couple of months, the Heat are going to have a lot of success. Tyler Herro was also strong for the Heat putting up 15 points. Herro went 0-7 from three which makes the 15 points scored even more impressive. 

The Utah Jazz has high expectations for this restart but they need to play a lot better than they did in the first game of scrimmages. Against the Phoenix Suns in the first scrimmage, their offense really struggled scoring 88 points, and that led to them losing 101-88. The Jazz in that game scored only 39 points total in the first half and that wasn’t enough to keep the game close. Donovan Mitchell is the star of the Jazz and he put up 17 points hitting three of his four shots from deep. 

In that first game, the Jazz’s defense gave up 101 points including 28 points and that led to the loss. The Jazz let six different players score 10 points and that led to the loss.

The Jazz’s offense struggled in the first game and that led to the loss. In this game the Heat are going to run up the score and that will be the difference. Look for the Heat to run up the score, enough to win the game and cover the spread.
