Miami Heat vs Dallas Mavericks Prediction

The Miami Heat have played incredible ball through two games in Vegas, and we shouldn’t expect that to change, assuming Jaquez and Ware continue to get minutes. Both players look too advanced for summer league play. Also, Josh Christopher is coming along as a bucket getter, which makes this Heat squad kind of scary. The Dallas Mavericks have been absolutely horrible defensively, and it’s hard to get behind them after seeing the effort through two games. Two teams on completely opposite sides. The line is reasonable. Give me the Heat and the chalk, as they improve to 3-0 in Vegas.
