• The Suns have lost nine of their last 10 road games on the first leg of a back-to-back.
• The Heat have won seven of their last eight games against the Suns at Kaseya Center following a win.
• The Suns have failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight games as road underdogs on the first leg of a back-to-back.
• The home team has covered the spread in each of the Heat’s last five games.

Phoenix Suns vs Miami Heat Prediction

The Phoenix Suns have been a mess without Durant both SU and ATS, so they could roll over like dogs and get smoked. However, the Miami Heat are about as average as it gets in this league, and you’re never sure which team is going to show up from game to game. The Heat have offensive issues at times to trust with big numbers and if Beal and Booker get hot, the Suns could easily steal this one on the road. I just don’t like the Heat in the decent-sized favorite role. Give me the Suns and the points.
