Portland Trail Blazers vs Miami Heat Prediction

I understand why the Trail Blazers are favored, because they’re the rested, healthier team, but the value is with the Heat and the bucket. The Heat are down Herro and Bam, but that didn’t stop them from scoring 53 points in a quarter last night, setting a franchise record. The Heat’s pace and offensive ability is real, folks, and it makes them a threat regardless of who is on the court. The Trail Blazers are still a young team learning how to win games they’re supposed to win. Give me the Heat and the bucket.
