Oklahoma City Thunder vs Miami Heat Prediction

I’m not excited to lay massive chalk in meaningless games, and the summer league can be so hit or miss with how teams play. With that said, the Oklahoma City Thunder have been horrible offensively, and they’re coming off a blowout loss to the Raptors where they scored 69 points. It’s gross. The Miami Heat are playing Jaquez and Ware, two guys who look too advanced for the summer league and are absolutely dominating in their performances. The Heat are coming off their best effort yet with a win over the Celtics. Based on how the teams look now, this should be a comfortable win for the Heat. I’ll lay the chalk.
