Miami Heat vs Oklahoma City Thunder Prediction
The Heat suck again, as the offense appears to be broken, and they’re fresh off a loss last night to the Pacers. The Heat are a frustrating bunch, as there are weeks where they’re one of the best offenses in the league and then others where they struggle to crack 90 points. The Thunder will smoke the Heat if the ladder continues. With that said, the Heat usually plays to the level of competition, so I kind of expect them to show up here. We also typically don’t get the Heat as massive dogs, as this will b the first time since last April where they’re a double-digit dog. Also, this is a look ahead spot for OKC with the Spurs on deck. I’ll take a stab with the points.
