Miami Heat vs Phoenix Suns Prediction
The Miami Heat continue to have issues playing four quarters of basketball, as they’re historically bad in the third quarter. The Heat are also coming off a dreadful loss to the Kings, which could be tough to put in the rearview. The Phoenix Suns are healthy, rolling offensively, and are winning games. I’d need more points to consider the Heat. The Suns have the horses to put this game away. I’ll lay the chalk with the Suns at home.
