Miami Heat vs Phoenix Suns Prediction
The Heat have had consistent issues all season long and have 15 road losses. Throw in the fact the Heat are on the end of a back to back, and you can understand why the Heat are dogs. The Suns have also been cash cows this season with their 30-13-2 ATS record. However, the Suns won’t have Booker and could be down Green as well. The Heat did beat the Suns a couple of weeks ago and if the Suns are down their starting backcourt, you can argue they should be the favorites. We’ve been blindly backing the Suns this season but given their injury report, I’ll grab the points with the Heat.
