Miami Heat vs Oklahoma City Thunder Player Prop Picks 2/12/25 NBA Picks

The Oklahoma City Thunder (43-9) will host the Miami Heat (25-26) on February 12, 2025, at Paycom Center in Oklahoma City. The Thunder are currently on a six-game winning streak, showcasing their dominance in the Western Conference. In their recent 137-101 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led the team with 32 points and 8 assists. Gilgeous-Alexander has been a consistent force for the Thunder, averaging 32.6 points and 6 assists per game this season.

The Miami Heat, on the other hand, have faced challenges recently, losing three of their last four games. Their latest defeat came against the Boston Celtics, with a final score of 103-85. Tyler Herro has been a bright spot for Miami, leading the team with an average of 23.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game. 

Bam Adebayo Over 9.5 Rebounds

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo has been a consistent force on the boards. He’s averaging 10.0 rebounds per game, ranking him 16th in the league. His rebounding efforts are well-distributed, with 7.4 defensive rebounds and 2.6 offensive rebounds per game. Adebayo’s consistent presence on the glass has been instrumental in the Heat’s performance this season, contributing significantly to both their defensive stability and offensive second-chance opportunities. 

We’ve seen Adebayo secure double-digit rebounds in seven of his last 10 games. I see him having another great night on the glass going against this Thunder team who do a lot great but they haven’t been the best rebounding team this season. OKC is giving up an average of 54.6 rebounds per game to opposing teams which is the fourth most in the league. Expect a big night from Adebayo on the glass. 

Luguentz Dort Under 9.5 Points

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort has been an inconsistent contributor to his team’s offense. He’s averaging just 9.8 points per game, along with 4.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists. His shooting efficiency includes a field goal percentage of 42.3% and a three-point shooting percentage of 41.5%. 

Dort is a good player but the Thunder don’t look at him to score the ball much. In his last two games, he scored seven points against the Phoenix Suns and six points against the New Orleans Pelicans. Especially with Chet Holmgren back in the lineup, Dort will get even fewer opportunities to score the ball.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Over 31.5 Points

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been a standout scorer this NBA season. He’s averaging 32.6 points per game, leading the league. His shooting efficiency includes a field goal percentage of 52.8%, ranking him 23rd in the league. Additionally, he contributes 5.1 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game, showcasing his all-around game. 

Notably, Gilgeous-Alexander has recorded multiple high-scoring games this season. On February 6, 2025, he scored 50 points in a victory over the Phoenix Suns. Earlier, on February 4, 2025, he led the Thunder with 34 points in a win against the Milwaukee Bucks.  we’ve seen Alexander score 30 + points and eight of his last 10 games. I don’t see him slowing down in this one.
